go to hell chris
. Hmm i know there are serveral lengths to choose from. Stock replacment size work for a set of pushrods? and if so what is the length of the stockers? Also the retainer or whatever that thing that holds the valve up above the spring snapped. i guess that let the valve fall down and lef the pushrod with a lotta room to play and it ended up bending the two. thats my guess

Advance Auto or Discount Auto have the pushrods in stock, usually. They are $1.50 each. Made by Sealed Power (TRW). Part number is RP-3241.

Yea I used the melling ones im my car from A/Z on the last motor. I must say, they were acutally life savers. When the crank let lose, valves were kept open none of the valve seats were cracked like what usally happens. pushrods took the brunt of the force and got bent.

I'd get some springs with a little more pressure than that.
Just my 2 cents though.
