I switched to the APT push rods which I'm guessing are hollow (they are
thicker). I haven't bent one yet. I have bent the standard ones but that
engine did see more regular high rpm than this engine (car had a 4 speed box
in so anything over 100mph need high rpm).

Good call on the stock pushrods, Mike. Even with clearance-ing of holes,
there is no real reason to use tubular pushrods. I've had them bend just as
readily as stock ones. I've had the same stock pushrods in my now 10+ year
old race engine for seven years without any issues. The benefits of good
oiling outweigh any marginal benefits the tubular ones offer. I assure you I
am beating my motor harder than just about anyone on the list. Redline oil
and proper clearances are key to extended life at 8000 RPM
