A bent push rod is not going to fix itself depending on engine load. Check the compression.

I just replaced the grey cps with the black one from riff raff, so gonna see how it runs after work. Probably the same. Just in case I was doing pricing for pushrods, valve springs, rocker arms, and I guess new valves?? I've found aftermarket Comp Cams push rods and valve springs. I would like to get everything after market/beefer. Any suggestions on where and what to get?? Make sure you don't have a base engine mechanical problem before spending money on things you don't need. Why would you need new rocker arms?

And whats the deal with having the cam at the 11 o'clock position before doing this job? How do you make sure it is? Never heard about that one......

Thanks

There are a few answers.
