"It is far better to have a thick, strong pushrod that resists deflection, than a light one"
+2 and why I equip my engines with .120" wall pushrods instead of .080". The deflection with "standard" .080" stuff is considerable, as I found out messing with that sort of thing quite a few years ago. I'd go to larger diameters instead but that's a bit more difficult in the big scheme of things.......Cliff
