I would do pushrods for sure and depending on how many miles you have, the oil pump also.

The oil pump is easy to do. Yours would probably be fine though. I would definitely buy some hardened pushrods though. Do you have all the gaskets?

I get them from TSP. They sell the basic cam gasket kit. Plus, you need to pull the oil pump to change the chain anyway. You need to get a new oil pump pickup tube O-ring as well.

I didn't change the oil pump on my '02 Z when the F13 was installed. The factory one is still holding great oil pressure. Oh yeah go with the harden pushrods like everyone has said.
