Hi all,
I'm in the UK with a Chris Draycott Racing 1600cc Alpine road tune engine. In the first 1000 miles I have 'destroyed' 3 push rods and I'm still running in the engine... the top of the pushrod where the ball of the rocker sits gently collapses requiring regular tappet adjustment. They were from the original engine but the valve springs were new. Can any one direct me to a UK or USA supplier of new hollow or solid pushrods? Visual inspection reveals a deeper 'socket' on the collapsed pushrod and a lot less thread showing on the adjuster. Am I missing something??
Thanks in advance!
Oliver
