Why do you need new pushrods? New heads? Old pushrods bent? Thicker/Thinner head gaskets?

Recommended installation items

2.Head gaskets Fel-pro #9333pt or #1011-2 or equivalent....Caution #1011-1 is not recommended
3.Requires heat treated pushrods
4.Spark plugs accepts 14mm .460 reach tapered seat 5/8" hex (cahmpion #670 or#802 or equivalent)
5.Exhaust gasket Fel-pro #90361 or equivalent
