I just got my new comp ultra gold rocker arms and it says in the instalation book that new pushrods should be used. I was just wondering if this is true, or is just something comp is doing to try to get you to buy their rocker arms? The push rods probally have no more than 10,000 miles.

If you sold pushrods,,,,,,,,, what would You recommend?

I would, I would not any of the old wear marks on the new rockers, even more if you
have roller lifters, as they dont spin.

Well I don't have roller lifters or anything, I just don't wanna spend anymore money where it's not necassary

When you have the rockers off, just check the push rods for any wear on both ends as well as for any signs of cracking or bending on the rod itself. Replacing the pushrods at the same time is a precaution, since the pushrod ends wear with the rocker tips.

i think they will be ok if its only a mild build with stock spring pressures. if you put a roudy cam in there and have heavy springs then i would spend the $$

I think you're good.
A bunch of us have probably just checked the rods out, cleaned them up a bit and re installed them in other builds.
I've had the same hardened push rods in 3 different setups, and the current being a somewhat "big" cam, and spin it to 6,500k regularly. Haven't broken a rod ever, and they have about 7,000 miles on them.

Yeah, probably just fine. Hold the ends against your thumb and rotate each contact surface. Bet they're mirror smooth.

I checked them and they all seem pretty good, so it should be good to put the new rockers on
