In removing the pushrods (for inspection) the suspension ear poses an issue. Do I need to drop the engine/
Thanks, Jim |

Do I need to drop the engine/ Thanks, Jim If you want to take them out completely, you may have to. but if you want to inspect them, you can do so without dropping the engine to slide them in and out. as i can remember, 3 of them can come out completely without dropping the engine. you have to remove the valve covers and rockers. |

Remember, you can pull the tubes only halfway out of the heads so that the middle of the tube is in the bore in the head. Tilt the tube downward on the inside (toward the centerline of the car) and the rod will come out. You can pull the tube out that way too if you want.

As I said on the other site, they come out with the engine in place, but you have to take the tubes out, as well. As Dr. Evil asked, why are you inspecting them?
