And the others ck out straight, what do you do with the old good ones:confused: Save them for the next time or keep them around to sell to people that might need 2 Comp Cam Magnum 3/8" intake pushrods for a BBC.

AZKC, I just replaced [didn't trust the rest of them] my comp cam magnum pushrods for my LS-6 . Did a routine check ,and found only one of the tips crumbling after removing the rocker arms. Sent it to the comp cam rep to check it out. Buy a new set and keep a few good ones in the boat as spare ;) :D BTW , your rods looks like 5/16 and 3 piece. Mine were the 3/8 one piece.

Best thing is to know why you bent them. For sure.
