I installed Denis Welch push rods, along with the DWR-1 cam and hollow =
lifters, when my engine was done. I also run a DWR high capacity oil =
pump. I run around 40 pounds at speed.

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.=20

BTW depending upon who supplied the bad parts you may be able to recover =
the costs involved.

When I rebuilt the engine last year I did not replace the oil pump =
because I had good oil pressure. Currently, from time to time, while =
breaking in the engine I am driving the car round trip 20-30 miles down =
the Tamiami Trail which is an open road for that stretch.. On a recent =
trip, the weather was cool, so the oil pressure was running 35 to 40 psi =
while the engine temperature was going up to 180 at 3000 rpm. At 4000 =
rpm the temperature climbed over 180 degrees and the oil pressure =
dropped below 30 psi. . I am considering replacing the oil pump and =
remember that there is a discussion about the quality of Moss pumps. =
Maybe I should buy the rebuild kit and change gears?
=20
Oh by the way, on the last run all hell broke loose and had the car =
towed home. Seems the mushroom on top of one of the push rods broke. =
So I am replacing all 12 of them.
