After-market pushrods???

Hi there peoples,

My newly acquired 'warm' grey motor is bending push rods. :shock: :roll:

Has anyone got any suggestions?

I was wondering if there are any after-market pushrods that are perhaps
thicker or made of stronger stuff?

The motor is far from wild. It has a mild cam and a 132 head on a 138 block.
It has extraction and induction goodies but surely they wont cause pushrods
to bend will they?

Kindly
Dominic

might want to check and make sure the valve springs arn't binding up, this will cause your issue.
