I'm having Comp 921s and a cam with .581 lift installed.. Worth the extra C note to get the hardened pushrods? Are LS1 and LS6 pushrods the same?

 

absolutly, get them for sure. you'll wish you had if you overrev it a bit and bend the stockers..

 

If you got the money and have an M6 i would do it.

 

Yes, I would get the hardened push rods. TEA carries them and they were ~$85 so that might save you a few $$$.

 

If you car is an M6, yes...

If it is an A4...not really. I used my stock ones for 6,000 miles on a .580" lift cam and each one was arrow straight when I pulled them out...

 

another vote yes
I bought em

 

Did you change rockers?

 

get them

 

I say no because what if yo miss a gear and instead of them bending them you will break something else it is easy to fix is you bend them froma missed gear

 

Doesnt it mean that you've eliminated a piece capable of protecting your overall valve train in the event of over RPM? After all, a missed shift causing bent push rods isn't that hard/expensive to fix.

With the hardened ones, what will be the first to go? Piston to valve contact b/o valve float? Broken rocker arms or studs. Sounds like it could have some negative potential. The OE ones work fine as long as you avoid the missed shift.

Stock rockers...

 

stock pushrods, I would rather bend that then a valve

 

why would you need to change the rockers?

 

Man I Was About Convinced To Swap Em Too Bhut Good Comeback Guys Verry Good Point About Breaking Something Else... Never Even Thought Of It That Way
