06 LS7 pushrods Anyone know what length they are and how much they are going to be? I did a search and only came up with that they were titanium. Thanks, Darrell

Damn, Ti Valves, valve springs, pushrods, con rods, retainers...Whats next?

well, if Ti PR's are included in part of a very stout valvetrain, then they aren't an issue. but throwing those into a stock or stock-like valvetrain could cause some serious issues w/the first over-rev. i think if you could get a completely Ti valvetrain you'd be set....for some SERIOUS rpm's. too bad most Ti valves are race only....the metal is too brittle. Predator-Z had a thread about them a few months back.

How do you alloy titanium with ceramic?

I'll still stay with my statement. I think when we actually get into the motor it won't have the Ti pushrods and springs. Nobody in today's world uses a Ti pushrod...nobody. So why would GM use it in a production motor? And the springs....if one broke, it would shatter into a million pieces. If it broke you would have to rebuild the motor.

No mention of the springs.
