Subject:Anyone have Pushrods to Spare?
From:ccc1

Hello Vanagonites:
I have recently been working on my '86 Westy, with a 2.1L engine.  It had
four bent intake pushrods (sticky valves?).  Despite listee advice to be
extra careful about installing the rods into the center of the lifter, I
have managed to bend some more.  (I *am* getting better at getting it right,
though).  I'm all out of spare pushrods, and straightening the bent ones
with a mallet seems foolish.  Does anyone have any spare pushrods they would
be willing to part with, from either a 1.9 or 2.1 engine?  Please P-mail me.
Thanks in advance!
