Hello Vanagonites: I have recently been working on my '86 Westy, with a 2.1L engine. It had four bent intake pushrods (sticky valves?). Despite listee advice to be extra careful about installing the rods into the center of the lifter, I have managed to bend some more. (I *am* getting better at getting it right, though). I'm all out of spare pushrods, and straightening the bent ones with a mallet seems foolish. Does anyone have any spare pushrods they would be willing to part with, from either a 1.9 or 2.1 engine? Please P-mail me. Thanks in advance! |
