Bent push rods (in need) ...I need some new pushrods..does anyone want to ship me some/sell me some? I need all 16.
Let me tell you what happend..the guy who owned my Firehawk before me freakin abused the hell out of it...he sent the computer off for one of those mail order tunes. When my buddy hooked it up to HPTuners he literally said "omg this guy does not need to be tuning cars". This guy set the rev limiter at 6900 RPM!!!!!!!
Now that being said the guy also disabled knock sensors...made the engine run WAY to rich...the fuel trims were WAY off..it was just a big cluster ****..but now the car is returned to normal and feels great but the guy said becasue of the valve train noise he said he gurantees i have at least 6 bent pushrods.
Does anyone have any good STRAIGHT ones they are willing to give away or sell? please reply or PM me. I need all 16
BTW here is my car: i know the wheels are gay I bought the car this way...pretty much straight up tells you the guy didnt take care of it for ****..some people just need to be slapped...
The car:
And the gay *** wheels he put on it..
if anyone wants the wheels its $800 wheels and tires...i know its pointless to post but hell someone might like them and want them or maybe know someone who does.

Why not pull the rockers off and actually find out how many pushrods you actually need rather than guess at it? You ought to be able sell those wheels and get enough money for them to buy all kinds of engine parts. There's got to be somebody sittin around itchin to get their hands on a set of wheels just like those to make their hooptie look ghetto fabulous.

just to give you an idea, you probably want different rims and tires but
I did ZR1s for under five hundred from TomZWheels----->
and then nittos from Discount Tire Direct for about five hundred also
so about nine hundred I think......just saying debt sucks

I just bought some used ones...i mean..yeah they are used but c'mon..as long as they are straight and in good condition thats all i need...im not sure how many are bent and I dont really feel like taking off the valve covers to look because i wouldnt be able to tell...(I guess look at the clearance from the rocker arm to the pushrod)? But I mean 15 bucks for all of them thats not too bad
You just roll them on a piece of glass. It's the oldest trick in the book(almost). Pushrods are a weak link, but you don't really now if they are bent until you pull the rocker covers off. It's not a bad job on an LS. Not like the SBC with oil and gunk and cork gaskets that have to be scraped off. Those days went the way of the Edsel.

lol..dang man that sounds like a pretty good deal..im putting these wheels on layaway and its getting close to the end of the year so im bound to get a bonus. Plus the reason I want to go ahed and order these is becasue this guy is about to back order like crazy so the person at the shop said I probably needed to get them before the guy in Texas goes ka-put
