I finally got around to taking down one of the 289's from one of the coupes and found a suprise, bent pushrods. The previous owner provided me a receipt for work done to the engine (five bent pushrods were replaced). The heads were rebuilt, new waterpump, hoses, carb, several lifters, fuel pump, gas tank cleaned and thermostat were also replaced as well.
When I bought the car it ran lit sh*t but I wanted it because it had so many options. The running condition didn't bother me until now.
I just want to know what are some of the causes for bent pushrods.
Thanks,
Ron
