 In those desperate times at a race, you loosen adjusting nuts and slide th=

                      <div>I am not pulling the head. I may be wrong,
                        but I have to remove the head Stud nuts on the
                        pedastals to lift the rocker assembly off the
                        engine to replace the pushrods.  I'm thinking
                        the other stud nuts have to be loosened also to
                        re-torque the head properly. Is there another
                        way to replace the pushrods without loosening
                        all the head nuts in sequence?</div>

Good call on the stock pushrods, Mike. Even with clearance-ing  of holes, th=
ere is no real reason to use tubular pushrods. I've had them bend just as re=
adily 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 be=
ating my motor harder than just about anyone on the list. Redline oil and pr=
oper clearances are key to extended life at 8000 RPM
