Pushrod question?

While I was looking at my heads I pulled the pushrods and noticed one was bent. The engine has around 200 miles on it. Is there much difference between pusrods brands and or alloys? I probably can't just by one, so I guess I will buy a set.

Pushrod question?

Any of the major cam manufacturers make reasonably priced push rods that are of good quality. Make sure you check to see what caused it to bend in the first place (valve lash, preload, bad lifter, etc) or it could happen again unless it was bent when installed.

Good luck!
