Reply to "Bent push rods"

honkenMember

Hi Bosswrench

Thanks for all the info there. I actually measured my geometry earlier this year and found to my surprise that I need shorter rods for my intake valves otherwise the rocker was placed to far "out" on the valve stem. So this is common?

The rods I use today are Cromolly SEA RP3226R (for exhaust) and SEA RP3225R (for intake). I'm still waiting for a valve spring tester I ordered. When I get the results I will know if I need stiffer springs or stronger rods. So, if the issue is weak rods, will this occur only at high revs?

If I buy thicker rods I will buy new plates as well and not fix the old ones

Or maybe I will get myself a couple of Yella Terra? Cowboy, if the mount is solid, how much can I adjust for push rod length?

Thanks to all of you! I'll post my results!

By the way, it's a 393 not a 383 as I wrote earlier

Cheers
