you may want to look into stiffer valve springs, hardened pushrods, and lifters...

well he wont be adding hardened pushrods then, and with stiffer valve springs your stock ones might turn into a pretzel.

he is puttin all ne parts into the heads... so if the pushrods are located in the head then they will be replaced... i havent heard of thumpers heads having in problems with them so im not to worried about what his goin to do... i jus dunno what i need to do installation wish... thumper is pretty well know... i dont think he would put stiffer springs in if it would tear up something else...

true but its better to be safe, might want to ask him. Pushrods arent part of the assembled head, but they go through the head...
