RE: IML: Bent pushrods

["Woolf,Richard T(Contractor)" <richard.woolf@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most pushrods damage is cause by timing chains problems. I have a '77
Cordoba which had 12 bend push rods, and 5 bend valves all cause by the
timing chain which broke. In your case the timing chain might have jump a
tooth. Just my two cents. :)

Subject: IML: Bent pushrods




I have a 1963 (413) with some bent pushrods, I think that they have been
bent a while and I did not hear any crazy spounds last time it ran (just
underpowered). The car has only 40,000 miles on it. How could I check to see
if it is a lifter issue or something worse? I replaced the rods but have not
tried the car yet.
