Stock TPI pushrods at 116k

Hey Guys, I am about to order a set of 1.6 roller rockers for my stock block TPI motor with 116k miles. Do You guys think it would be wise to change out the old pushrods while I'm at it? I mean... the car doesn't really see high rpm's (tpi of course), but I think it would be a good preventive measure. I wanna order my Summitt rockers now, but I also wanna get the pushrods at the same time. Does anybody know what size and kind I need to order? Thanks, Rik

If you've never had valve train issues I really wouldnt worry about it honestly.

there are better ones out there for sure, lighter and stronger.

But if your sticking with TPI, it shouldnt be an issue.

If you have concerns, take them out, make sure the oil feeds are clean and lay them all on a piece of glass and roll them to see if they are flat.

later
Jeremy
