Why the oil restricted pushrods? These motors don't have any problems with drain back.

Just curious.

Nevermind the long story. Just make sure they are hardened, they will be lathed down like no other if you run stock against those 3/8 hardened guideplates. If you want pics of my pushrods after running them against that hardened guideplate I can post them Especially with the rockers being adjustable and the slack that they can create.

This is why Comp won't warranty their Roller Rocker setup without hardened pushrods being using in the setup. I learned the hard way.
