[Spridgets] Tubular pushrods - Re: Head Stud Torque Setting

[WeslakeMonza1330 at aol.com]

I switched to the APT push rods which I'm guessing are hollow (they are  
thicker).  I haven't bent one yet.  I have bent the standard ones but  that 
engine did see more regular high rpm than this engine (car had a 4 speed  box 
in so anything over 100mph need high rpm).

Good  call on the stock pushrods, Mike. Even with clearance-ing  of holes,  
there is no real reason to use tubular pushrods. I've had them bend just as 
 readily 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  beating my motor harder than just about anyone on the list. Redline oil 
and  proper clearances are key to extended life at 8000 RPM
