broken pushrod problem
Im with SSDoubleK....I don't think I would put hardened pushrods in a all stock motor unless you change the springs and go with a bigger cam. The stock pushrods are designed to give just like they did so it doesn't damaged anything else. Of course this is not my car and ya'll are gonna do what you want.
If you need some stock rods and springs let me know...I do have a set with only 3674 miles on them.

I had the same problem but I had alot more bent be careful there maybe more going on internal. I had to replace my cam and lifters but even with minute head damage you will be fine. but how bad was the pushrod break will let you know if you need to go deeper.
I don't want to put stock pushrods back in his car after the way some of them looked. Some of them were bent so bad I don't know how they were still opening the valves. My buddy's a pretty good driver so I don't think he'll be missing too many shifts.

Yes, it would, if you missed 3rd and kept your foot on the gas. But it wouldn't be a mechanical over-rev like I mentioned. The PCM would step in and start bouncing you off the rev-limiter due to the PCM reading the TPS.
You are correct. Missing 3rd and banging straight back into 1st is the usual culprit. I suppose a missed 4th to 5th, hitting 3rd instead, would cause a mechanical over-rev, too. My bad. The PCM controls the rev limiter via the TPS....if you rev too high in a particular gear by mashing the accelerator, the PCM will step in. If you miss a gear and accidentally downshift, and the engine over-revs, the TPS isn't causing the over-rev, so the PCM cannot control it. A missed downshift at too high an RPM causes a mechanical over-rev...the PCM has no way of detecting or controlling a mechanically-induced over-rev.
Sorry about the boo-boo........

It that case yes, I was just giving crap. I have plenty of the typos etc, figured thats what it was. Ppl need not take me too seriously, Im a joker.
