Push rod orientation

Pushrod orientation

Finishing up my head swap. Have a quick question?

Hardened one piece pushrods: One end has a half sphere, the other has more of a whole sphere. What is the correct orientation? I'm thinking whole sphere end at rocker?

Just wanted to double check.

Thanks

Also, when adjusting the guide plates, I look at how centered the wear pattern is left to right? (viewed from above valve tip)

Are these new pushrods or your putting back in ones you've had in before?

They are new pushrods. I'm finishing up a head swap. AFR 165, Scorpion Rockers, Hardened one piece pushrods (stock length), Eaton lifters.

Even though they are one piece, they do have two different ends as described above. Since the pushrod will have more mis-alignment at the rocker compared to the lifter, I'm assuming the end with the whole sphere would meet the rocker.

Don't want to assume. First time doing a head swap.

Just need a quick answer from someone with hardened pushrods. TTT
