Pushrods for Adjustable Rockers

[Anonymous]

I'm building a 250 using early 144/170 adjustable rocker arms. What type of push rods are required,oiling(hollow) or no oiling(solid)?

You will need to get the oiling ones (hollow) if you have a hydraulic cam, solid if you have a solid lifter cam and lifters. Mike, Azcoupe has the moly pushrods you will need for the 250 as they are longer than the 200's.

That is incorrect info.

You should use solid pushrods if you are using the shaft rockers. The camshaft has nothing to do with the pushrods. Oil through pushrods are only needed for pedestal style roller rockers. You will need custom pieces that have a ball and cup for the 250 - it never had adjustable rockers as an option and they are much longer than 200 pushrods. AzCoupe may stock them, or call Gary at Rocker Arm Specialists.

Thanks guys. I thought the solid ones on FSPP were the right ones and e mailed them but got no response. $45 seems like a good deal to me.

If you e-mailed me, I didn't get it. Sorry you had a problem. I've had other people tell me they have tried to e-mail me, but the messages bounce for some reason.

I just got an order for pushrods today, so I'm assuming it's you?
