so with 143K on the clock, now im considering pushrods..
What should i replace the stock ones with
Stock lenght is 7.200" correct?

Anyone supply me with a part # to be certain

7.200 inches is the correct length. I would upgrade to at least hardened pushrods this time around.

I didn't see anyone answer his question about changing valve seals w/o removing the heads. I was wondering that myself. Anyone?
