sup fellas. just wondering how many of you guys put new pushrods in when you replaced your head if you have a 0331? my 2000 needs a new head and i'm ordering it from clearwater so it has all new springs, etc installed. the pushrods aren't bent or anything, they all appear to be fine, but i know how you're suppossed to put things back in order if you were using all original equipment (and i still left them in order just in case) but im not sure if it's good to replace them for the wear on the rocker side or keep the old ones since they match the lifter side

Just make sure the oiling holes are clean, and no burrs on them, and not bent which you said they were straight. The biggest thing is not getting the lifters out of order.

The push rods are kind of inexpensive, cheap enough to replace them and not have to worry about cleaning and checking the old ones.
