200 Pushrods

[Hodgie1013]

During a head gasket change on my 200, I discovered a couple of bent pushrods. So I'm going to go ahead throw a new set in. Does anybody know of a heavier pushrod that I can use? Otherwise I'll just go with a stock replacement set, which I also need a line on. If anybody can help, it would me much appreciated. Thanks.

Do you have any idea how or why they bent? Might be good to know before you put things back together.

I'm pretty sure that I didn't have them seated in the rocker arm cups when I re-installed the stanchion. They were straight when I removed them. Oops...
