First off, what's up HOMETOWN! Nova Conv, I'm up near Griffith Park just off the 5. Those of us near the Los and OC areas should get together and check out eachothers powerplants.
I wanted to meet Hudson not too long ago at Irwindale but had a driveline failure (driveshaft) and just recently this pushrod deal. Must be the stars. Not in alignment...or I should stop pushing the motor past 4500rpm.
TW6:
The pushrods (I got from Clifford) the engine has now are for roller rockers. The one that was damaged the most measured 9 5/8". Close to stock from what the people at PAW told me.
The rest of the pushrods measure 9 11/16"!
It looks like it lost 1/16" of material. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong please) That's not cool. I'm going to take pictures and post them. 3 other pushrods showed "dents" on the tips...
Do I need a longer length?

Here is the picture I took. Just scroll down to the bottom. There is a comparison of the one that failed and one that didn't.
