[TPR] FIX looking good..Re: Bent a push rod???

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Good question. the problem with a hyd roller is I haven't had the valve covers off for 2 years (yea my bad) even when we put on Tommy Hodges new 180 headers. Hard to say when it came lose but i should have had Dick or Art check before and after the last orr.

>Check the push rods for signs of rubbing in thehole on the  heads  where they come thru and on the back of the rockers.  What size push rods  does it have, if it has 3/8 then it's highly likely they're rubbing and will  need clearancing.  I'd be willing to bet it was on an intake valve.

  bending perfectly good parts.........just been lucky with Russ that nothing 
  has broke in 6 years but better to break it here then 7 miles into Silver 
  State...perhaps an opportunity to have Russ build a race engine that makes 
  700+ Hp...yea everything happens for a.reason...yea right
