Did the pushrod change out today, reason was front exhaust was pushing on the tube, made no sense to me so got some stronger rods, run it up after, took it for a spin, no more rubbing, the rod that came out appears fine in a roll test on flat surface, got me but outcome is what I wanted, reason for this post though is always pull new adjustable pushrods apart and clean them before install, two were good, two had swarf, couple of pics for reference.

Cheers I’ll keep that in mind when doing my cam change with adjustable pushrods 

hopefully these Fuel Moto sticks work ok, as that's what i have coming for my cam job

Fuel moto pushrods are made by smith brother's, very highly rated .
