Thank you for the clarificaction on the rods. I have never seen the push rods for the later models with the hydraulic lifters. I was lead astray by the Haynes manual on pg 209 para 57 "[engines with hydraulic lifters] can be identified by their solid steel push rods as opposed to the tubular aluminum type fitted previously." Obviously there is a difference. My question is do I spend the money and buy the rods for hydraulic lifters(made of solid stainless steel but still hollow) or keep the ones I have now? Thanks again Todd
