Subject:Re: 2.1 L push rods

John, I have used ones in stock.  I usually sell them for $40 each plus
shipping them to you via priority mail shipping which is an additional $7
for as many as you may need.  There some aftermarket ones listed out there
but all of them I have purchased have been a different length than the
stock waterboxer push rods.  Just found out that they are the correct
length for some of the aircooled Vanagon 2.0l engine, even though I thought
those were the same as the bus AC push rods (live and learn).

Let me know if I can help you further.
Ken
