Roller rocker push rod question

..........I picked up some comp cams 1.52 roller tip rockers. My question is, can I use the same push rods, or should I install new ones. Thanks.....Zapr.

Look at the ends of yours for wear. Did you get self aligning rr's?

If the rockers are the only thing you're chaning then you should be able to use the same pushrods. When going to guideplates that's when you need hardnened pushrods (guideplates will cut stock non-hardened pushrods in half very quickly). Also, if you're running higher pressure springs the stock sticks leave something to be desired just from a strength point of view (bendy/flexy).
