Re: bending push rods

What wall thickness are the push rods? if they are not .080 i would say the cam and springs will bend the .040 or .060 wall rods.
Make sure roller rockers are centered on teh valve stems.
Maybe after it gets hot guides are sticking?

Re: bending push rods

Not sure what model number push rods your using, but they should be Hardend Pushrods for the set up your using.

If they are, then you may have a coil bind, or pushrod length issue.
