LS1 pushrod no oil hole Hello Team,
I think I made a mistake but I'm hoping I didn't. I needed to get slightly longer pushrods for my LS1 build so I got Comp cams 7820-16 . They fit great. However, I realized halfway through installing them that they didn't have the oil hole through the middle which I guess provides oil to the rocker. The picture on the website shows a hole in them. Just curious to know if these holes are, in fact, necessary.
Thanks

The picture also shows what is clearly 3-piece pushrods, not 1-piece.
If you go through the 'selector' thing on their site, pick diameter: 5/16" and end style (lifter): non-oiling welded ball... there's part numbers 7820-1 & 7820-16.

Did you mean get the "oil through one piece construction"? Because when I select non-oiling welded ball as you said I get 7820-16... which is the part that I did order... which is wrong because there is not a oil hole.
