What are they? Are they good? What about adjustable pushrods? Did they come from the factory?
Steve, the aftermarket has lots of offerings for both makes with better materials and treatments. The adjustable pushrods did not come from the factory and were allowed by NHRA many moons ago, to give an option to other makes of engines that did not have adjustable valve train. My own preference, although more expensive, I would rather have custom made pushrods in lieu of running an adjustable push rod due to its weight.

The funny and interesting part of this discussion is that many of you are bringing up issues that have been in the rule book for over 20 years such as adjustable pushrods and the ductile iron rocker arms in Mopars and at the time, no one made an issue of it until now. Do not get me wrong, I recognize many of you have devoted most of your life to a few makes of engine manufacturers and are not knowledgeable on other makes.
