Hi Robert, you are the second person that I have heard of who had that
problem with "cheapo repo" push rods.
It seems that those that are currently available are produced with too
small a diameter of the cup so they seize on the rocker ball and break off.
I would recommend that you inspect all the rocker ball ends carefully then
install a set of good used push rods to prevent further problems.
M
BTW depending upon who supplied the bad parts you may be able to recover
the costs involved.
