upgraded pushrods with stock valve springs is a bad idea too

I wouldn't run the same oil pump. But that luck sucks.

Don't feel too bad mine bent a rod on startup. Foot off the gas and no indication of anything being amiss. Oil was good, ran good the night before. Went out turned the key it shook, started and started knocking. But now I have more power and another member has my old engine now and hopefully it serves him well after the freshening.

The only thing I can add is mt LT1 cars didn't do that ****. Fuel pumps and Opti's now that a different story but at least they didn't cost an arm and a leg to fix.
