Anyone else? I dont know about all this P/V clearance stuff. I always thought it was normal to get hardened pushrods w/ 1.6rr's?

I really don't think you don't need them for your setup. If you're concerned about the pushrods, just buy a high quality OEM replacement. Hardened pushrods are needed with non self-aligning
rockers that use PR guideplates. If you're not using guideplates, they're not necessary.
