  • Custom pushrods on hybrids?

    How important is it to put custom pushrods in. I have a 3400 block with flat tappet cam and 3400 heads. I put in the 3.1 pushrods and haven't seen a problem with them. In fact i took them to my engine builder and he said they were okay to run. How much hp am i losing by using these if any?

    You should be alright. Are you using 3400 rockers or adjustable ones?

        Well thats fine the geometry will be stock like a 3400. But you should at least verify your preload with a dial indicator. Should be between .020 and .060
