Just helped remove a 1.7 today and this is what came out of it.
There were probably 4 push rods that had varying amounts of this wear. I could make a guess at what caused it, but this end was seated in the lifter. Just curious.... anyone want to guess? |

That just makes me wonder how much we could machine off the pushrods and they would be fine.
Every gram we take off the valve train helps (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
