So this has been bothering me from a conversation I had last week.
I had requested a set of 7/16 push rods for my latest build (05 CR ). I was under the impression it was also what I paid for when I ordered several parts. However a lot more back ground to this story but not really the point.
I received a set of 3/8 .083 wall push rods. When I asked about the requested 7/16 rods I was told "1st you'll need to pull your cylinder head and clearance for the 7/16 pushrods or they will rub on the pushrod holes causing wear, heat, harmonics and possibly damage to the rod."
Now I have had 7/16 rods in 4 other builds and never once had a clearance issue. Have I just been lucky on those other occasions?
I had even offered to buy another set of 7/16 rods with the intent of making two sets of heavier duty rods using the 3/8 for intake only. The response I got was "Why would you use 7/16 for exhaust and 3/8 for intake?
I am no expert by any means but again I have been around the block a time or two. Am I the ignorant one here or does this not make sense to anyone else?
