Pushrods for stock LT1 w/ 1.6RR's
It looks like I might have to replace some pushrods in the 'ol formula (I havent pulled them out yet but it seems to be the case). I've just got a stock motor with 1.6RR's. Should I just replace them with stockers or should I get hardened or chromoly pushrods?? Really don't know much about them. School me please!
Also, the car will more than likely be cammed by the end of the winter. Should I just do stockers for now and then upgrade them all when I do the cam?
Thanks guys!

Are they self aligning? If they are NSA you need guideplates and hardened pushrods.
I'm not sure but I believe stock length would be ok, but you SHOULD check with a length checker tool.
Throw them on and run a before and after time/dyno. That would be cool to see.
I also believe you'll need better springs as the stock ones aren't good for 1.6 rockers. LT4 springs are good for just that or wait and get some GOOD springs and do that and the rockers when you cam it.

"I've just got a stock motor with 1.6RR's"
if you've checked your PR's on a flat surface like glass....and found warped ones then yes put new stock length ones in...i.e. chromoly pushrods ..are you using stock springs currently?

Now recently, The car has lost a little power over the last few weeks (driven it maximum 20 miles since I've noticed it) and Im noticing a very small knock in the motor...sounds like its below the valve cover again-not sure if it's just the RR's being noisy or if it's starting to happen again-havent had the time to pull the valve cover yet and inspect.
Yes.

I'm coming to the conclusion that most broken parts that you hear about from valve springs to opti's and bad o2 sensors...(wiring extension f'ed up ot touching exhaust), are mainly from improper install. And this is from my own personal experience.
