What Pushrods??
As I was driving home today from the paint shop i heard a tapping from inside the valve cover. It was the polylock hitting the valve
cover, it was loose. I opened it up and took the pushrod out and it was bent. So i need to buy a new set but dont know what to buy,
i had the stock one's which i belive are 6.25 in. lengh and 5/16 in diameter. My mods are in the SIG if they are needed.

The pushrod bent because there was too much play between the rocker and the pushrod.

there is no need to change length unless you really wanna "f" the geometry up and cause probs...stock length is all you need to replace bent one = 6.250......go to your local parts store and order one and it's 5/16
