Default Found the problem pics inside

After talking with many of you guys here about my little mis shift at the track last Saturday, everyone said it was most likely the push rods and were you guys right. I had about 5-6 that slightly bent, and 2 that were really bent. I've posted the pics here for your laughing pleasure. . . . . .

Well if you miss a shift with the comp pushrods you will not be fixing a set of push rods it will be a set of vavles and maby replacing a set of heads.
