Subject: Re: 4.5 litre pushrods
Hi,
Why oil into the pushrod tube? The lower end should already be well lubricated. Also, oil in the tube would add weight, not ideal.
Regarding the tube construction, good point, but if the later pushrods are reliable in service, perhaps simply evidence of ongoing improvement/development of the Meadows engine. Sometimes "improvements" are however cost-related, to the detriment of reliability!
