Fuel Pump Push Rod Longevity
Under normal driving circumstances, how long could/would a push rod last?

With proper maintenance of the engine [oil & filter changes] I wouldn't even worry about this part. Just my 2 cents.

indefinitely.
the fuel pump will fail many times before you need a new pushrod.

I don't think I've ever seen a stock one "fail"... seen one or 2 get chewed up when something else failed (metal chips in the oil from a rolled cam lobe for example) but that's about it
