Good call on the stock pushrods, Mike. Even with clearance-ing of holes, th=
ere is no real reason to use tubular pushrods. I've had them bend just as re=
adily as stock ones. I've had the same stock pushrods in my now 10+ year old=
race engine for seven years without any issues. The benefits of good oiling=
outweigh any marginal benefits the tubular ones offer. I assure you I am be=
ating my motor harder than just about anyone on the list. Redline oil and pr=
oper clearances are key to extended life at 8000 RPM
