Hardened pushrods are only required with non self aligning rockers(adjustable) that use guideplates. Otherwise it's a waste of money. Unless u just wanna say u have hardened pushrods? hahaha

I've heard with all types of lifters that u should replace them. Whether it's roller or flatt tappett it still mates to the cam.

SHOULD replace them and NEED to replace them are two COMPLETELY different things...
then again, if everyone did what was recommended, lifters would be getting changed every 60k miles in our cars.... since ford recommended it.

RE: Cam Parts
