Nope, I didnt reef on it, but was firm. Surprised how "ez" they were to bend lol.
Corrected crank gear, straightened rods and moved on. 10 years and 10k miles ago.
**edit**, I DIDN'T straighten the bent push rods, I out used straight ones in lol. Figured I'd better clarify that:realcrazy:
Well, I DID beat a couple of slant 6 pushrods out straight with a hammer on a vise years ago. Put um back in, adjusted the valves and it ran great until I did the V8 swap.
