Hey guys,

Anybody know where I can get 1 Andrews EZ install aluminum adjustable pushrod (exhaust valve length) for an evo? Was putting a new set in with my new cam and lifters yesterday, and didnt have this one seated fully, bent it turning over the motor by hand. Really annoyed I did that. I only see them available in the pack of 4, but my others are new and fine. Don't want to buy another $170 set unless I have to. Thanks!

 

I would check with Andrews, you never know.

Hopefully you didn't bend a valve

 

No I don't think I bent a valve. I'm not positive I had the pushrod centered on the rocker, it may have slipped off to the side. I was a total dumbass and didn't check it. I turned the motor over very slowly with the rear wheel, trans in 5th gear. The pushrod bent right away, it took all the damage. Didn't even have any weird resistance on the wheel at all, I didn't even notice something was wrong for a minute. Stupid, stupid mistake.

I'll call Andrews and check, worth a shot.

Thanks!

 

the only way to know for Shure out of a shop is to remove the other pushrod on that cylinder - with a rubber tip blower pressurize the cylinder and listen for air loss at the carb or the exhaust
