YEY - spaghetti pushrods !!!

Seriously, how did you get it out. Pushrods holes are not that wide....
I assume those were stock pushrods...did you over rev it, or something ?

another 500 miles and it would have snapped... You can see where it was rubbing the head something awful. That spot would have been where it snapped. Like he said, it pulled right out. Nobody believed me, they thought I bent it after I pulled it out...
