I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but I reckon that these are only good for pub points.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

lot of money,

I wouldnt go for them the rate i go through pushrods lol.

Theres a company in the US called Smiths brothers that do custom push rods, I think you'll find they can do something for a fraction of the cost. I know that Marcel Chitack used them for his 8 port efi.

Joe. The light weight push rods reduce the valve train mass. you can then use lower poundage springs and still keep the followers on the cam lobes at high rpms without the extra wear and tare.

Ultimately they wont do much if you just use them on their own, but lightened followers, titanium valve caps and keepers with ally rockers and ally push rods will see a worth while benefit on a high reving motor.

*EDIT* I got these confused with the ally ones for sale else where. Steel billet, HMM, maybe the only benefit is their ridgidity?

I watched a few seminars that vizard gave, he mentions that they flex and distort during use, but this can't be seen when removed, you can apparently see the marks in the block when removed. Personally I've never noticed it, but according to him improvments can be see using stronger rods.

Turbo parts collector at the moment, almost ready.

You have to open up the block to run them, but they still fowl the head

Surely they're only of benefit when running high rpm's, high valve lifts and heavy poundage valve springs.
So for most of us I'm sure the standard ones are more than fine.

I see what MED are doing: All 1275 parts were last made 11 ( *surprised* ) years ago... Like the Verto hubs, and other parts (like the alloy front plates perhaps LOL) they are merely making it easy for those who might be struggling to find certain parts on the second-hand market (and have pockets deeper than available time perhaps)?

Fair play to them. I'm sure they'll sell lots.
