Are my Cylinder heads Damaged (PICS) Here you go please look at the holes where the pushrods go in......These holes have been expanded from bent pushrods. Must I replace my cylinder heads or can I just put my hardened ones in and be fine....Since Tech wont let me post the pics please go to the bottom of the page and you will see the pics of the cylinder heads

The head is fine. I know a lot of people that have had that problem. As long as the new push rod is not binding on anything you are good to go.
PS pic is not working for me eather.

The head should be fine, just maybe do an oil and filter change to get some of the removed metal out of the engine. FWIW some people intentionally enlarge those holes for clearance reasons, so there is nothing inherantly wrong with that.

actually if you are talking about the pics there is a new spec stage 3 that came out about 1000 miles because some stupid *** shop decides that they want to put it in crooked and actually fucked up the disk.........Kinda pist me off.......I have another one in the car. That is 3 from this car and as far as anything breaking because of it saw the pushrods didn't you. That would be my very first thing that I broke from the 6 speed everything else broke from the Auto

I did throw in some new pushrods and everything runs great now.....Not a sound is made anymore....I want to say thanks to everyone who helped in giving info on how to swap the pushrods. Who know what I would have done if you guys did not tell me how to do everything..
All in all Swaping pushrods is simple. The hardest part was well there was nothing hard about it now that I think about it
