6 out of 16 were bent, ouch. Thanks alot to Jeff at PSI for hooking me up with new pushrods short notice :)
Install went smoothly, overall, thanks to tims tool as well

looks like it would have been a little easier with the STB off :)

Yeah, I just looked at the pics for the third time and just thought the same thing....it's only 4 bolts hahaha

What did you do to bend them? Def would have been easier without the STB.

Looks like something bad happened, but out with the old in with the new.

i'll take her if you change your mind. :jest:

hah! this is erics fiancee... he doesnt kno im on here... but i love hugger orange. lol-shhhh :)

ouch, nice job bending them :jest:

another vote though next time take of the strut tower brace :judge:

holding the camara while she did the work, lol. Im in one of the pics. She went inside after she took the rockers off, the springs are sorta a one person thing. But she knows how to change them now :devil:

and about the STB........i feel like an idiot for leaving it, im sitting here now trying to figure out why i didnt take it off, i honestly never even thought about it. But the bar actually does suck a bit to take off cause you cant get the ratcheting wrench onto the inside bolts because of clearance. So it prolly takes almost 10 minutes to get that damn bar off. so there ya go

Oh, and she wants a grand national, i love that girl :drive:

i gotta find a girl that will do that for me lol

That's cool bro. Convincing her to buy you speed parts must be a lot easier.

In my life time I only have meet one girl that could swing wrenches.

I've got a heads/cam swap coming up this weekend, think she would want to see how fast she can change that? :)

My girlfriend is about as smart as Paris Hilton, she wouldn't know what the fuck is going on. We are working on oil changes right now, well the pouring in oil part anyway.

lucky man!

And yeah that is a good deal on Asparagus.

Asparagus FTW...cool gf

awesome gf. mine always makes up some excuse not to help me. her dads owned a sho for liek 30 year, she knows what shes doing. she doesnt dont wanna help me.

hah! this is erics fiancee... he doesnt kno im on here... but i love hugger orange. lol-shhhh :)

hey, stay up in jersey!! :engarde: lol

As far as parts go, the one bent pushrod wore down the hole for the pushrod slightly so i told her i had to buy new heads.....she didnt fall for it :(


Shes planning to help when i finally put in a new camshaft, but thats not for a while still unfortunately. Until then shes scheming on how to "inherit" her dads 440 six pack '70 cuda :drool:

When I got my coolant flushed the other day a girl did the work. I like girls who like cars. :)

Mmmmmm, asparagus... :drool:
