QUOTE(StratPlayer @ Mar 11 2026, 12:59 PM)  68.00 a piece, are they worth it? $540.00 for pushrod tubes seems like quite the investment. Tangerine has a set for $330.00, but they aren't billet, they are stainless. What are you trying to solve for? Seems to me that the only benefit would be less resistant to damage/leaks in the tube itself. Most of the leaks come from the seals, not the tubes themselves. 'm having a 2.1 built right now and I did the evaluation based on cost/benefit and it was not worth it for me. I went with a set of high quality tubes and invested in the best seals/prep work. More knowledgeable members will reply soon, Ted |
