[QUOTE="davidd, post: 45234, member: 1177"] Another common reason for the push rods to go out of adjustment is if you have added new components without matching them well. The push rods like to be well matched to their appropriate sockets. If they are not, you will find yourself adjusting the valves at very short intervals. You can stone them by hand or use a drill press and paste, but if you do not, there may be a high pressure area that will cause the metal to move, and when it starts moving, it does not stop: [URL=http://s1017.photobucket.com/user/daviddunfey/media/Pushrodspb_1_zps99b4a50e.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af300/daviddunfey/Pushrodspb_1_zps99b4a50e.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I have used aluminum push rods for a long time. In th U.S. Smith Brothers makes them, but they do not do international shipping. I have used full aluminum push rods and aluminum with steel ends and have not seen a difference in wear.
