Happy New Year to the World (914 World) !
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Asking advise from world members about who they have used for custom pushrod lengths. Stock 1.7L motor rebuild. After looking at the VT geometry the ideal length determined to be 272.5mm end-to-end. Would like to go heavy duty aluminum 12mm diameter. Recommendations ? |

Manton steel, get yourself an arrow saw and a dial indicator.
Not that difficult.  There are a few procedures, Google search. |

Paul, Call CB Performance with your specs and have them cut and assemble them for you for about $100 total for the chrome moly pushrods, set your valve lash at zero and check them again after you break in the engine.

QUOTE(larryM @ Jan 2 2018, 12:13 AM) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I had them make the pushrods for the teener after I failed at getting the lengths correct cutting the ones that came with the Raby cam kit. I also use their pushrods on one of the Harleys |
