Nah that thread can die. Nothing happened in the 2 months except b**bs, frustration, and popcorn.

That is because you would not listen to us or have me help you! Push rods are one of the last things you need to worry about if you are going to rebuild that engine. Bent pushrods are a product of something else. Abuse or other mechanical problems.

I did listen. Did every suggestion over, and over, and over. And while they were all good, it ended up not solving the running like *ss issue. The cam was flat, and it has serious mechanical issues. I've also read that after gm switched to the smaller pushrods on the bbc, they have issues with bending/breaking them even in low stress situations.

And I distinctly remember someone saying the stock pushrods in the 454s much past the early 70s were small and liked to bend a lot...

I distinctly remember someone told you back on page 1 or 2 to look at the valve train......😛

^^^^WHAAAAAAT?????

You do not need another set of studs and another set of pushrods - TOTAL waste of your money for a stock 454. If you feel the need to blow some money, then buy some tools, i.e. mics, inside bore gauge, multimeter, etc. These are tools that you'll use during this rebuild. If you are going to fix this proper, then proper includes https://www.competitionproducts.com...-112-LS/productinfo/CL120225-12/#.XPugKFxKjIU

Save your money and make it worth something or ................ carry on for another hundred pages or so of your 'listening' and throw away $2-3K in the process.


I restocked the beer fridge so I'll be staying tuned.
