I torn down the 2.0 just bought recently and was curious as to what these polished or machined bands on the pushrods are?

Ppetion, you springs are not installed properly. They will not hold the tubes in place. The tubes can and will back out and cause a massive oil leak. The straight section of the spring sticking in the hole needs to be on the lower edge of the tube. Grab it with a pair of needle nose and pull it out and down till it rest on the edge of the tube. As I look again, I see the spring is on the wrong side of the pushrods. They are rubbing on the rod and could eventually cut the rod in half.
