Need some strong pushrods
Found a busted pushrod again...3rd one. These are cut to fit with a press in tip. Needless to say whether it was my half ass valvetrain adjustment (1st engine build and still learning) or the quality of these rods, I need a reputable dealer. All 3 of the tips busted off and luckily no debris found it's way down into the lifter. This happened over a span of 8 months.
Anyway I've got a roller valvetrain and the rods are hollow with a radius bottom and a cup on top. Anyone have some American made suggestions? Thanks.

i used smith bros on my 600 hp 455 and i never had a problem, even after losing a lifter bridge and the lifter, the push rod stayed straight somehow.
