bent pushrods to hell!! help!!!! mystery engine

[dannydoo]

I actually have a motor from i dont know what...i think its 91?

it has 9e?? heads
b cam
1.7 roller rockers

the old owner bent the old pushrods by tightning them wrong,and im trying to figure out what pushrods to use.

i was going to put stock rockers on..but the roller rockers are stud mounted,so the holes where the old stock rockers were tapped out to wayy bigger size than the stock bolts that hole the stock rockers in.

and this is in a 94 i picked up...i cant believe it ran with 4 pushrods bent so bad,they wouldnt roll across the table...and 4 more that were warped to hell.
the 4 bad ones looked like a bow...bow and arrow ...

help.............................

TFS pushrods are a good and reasonable price pushrod. Im not sure of the stock length.

i dont think the pushrods bent from overtightning as the hydro lifters would give or springs would compress b4 bending a rod, wither bad guides or you had some piston to valve clearence issues. i would pull atleast one of the heads off, inspect the valves then clay the pistons to find out how much clearence you have

btw FMS sells hardend stock length pushrods for around $40

Thats a good point, i was thinking it had to be more to cause it.

Thats the hot ticket:Word:

stock length is 6.272"

tfs rods are 6.350" and are about $100-very nice though, what i had to use for my afr heads

i know it, but that size i posted is the closest to .100 longer that you can come up with.
