i have two broken pushrods and i have no idea why they broke. And when i say broken i dont mean bent. The end of the pushrod where the ball is snapped off. the car did over heat bad, and im not sure if they got weak due to the overheat but the bottom "ball" with the hole in it for oiling snapped off. anyone ever have this problem?
