push rods are not the problem.

No, but they do bend when confronted by a piston heading the opposite direction of the valves...

And you still gotta replace them. For less than $300.00 you can get a set from Smith Brothers.

Nice set of Beehive springs will help eliminate that problem too.

Lol yup. Other motor had up graded springs and stock push rods. Haveing stock push rods wasn't the problem here the problem was a broken rocker casing the intake push rod to pop out. (notice no valve contact for intake side) this is why after the first pass there was a slight miss a idle. Now the 3rd pass I decided to spray it because I wasn't going to win down a cylinder. Had the gate blocked off. I'm thinking a combination of the intake valves not opening and the high back pressure caused the exhaust valves to hit and bend the exhaust side and causing the harder miss after the nitrous pass. Other pistons have a slight contact pattern where the exhaust valves were hitting. But the rest of the push rods are fine. So my theory is the broken rocker caused it all. But who knows.
