What do people think of the tapered pushrods? Does the triangle shape actually improve stiffness in the pushrods? I am thinking of long ones like in a Hemi....Tim



The biggest bang for the buck in preventing deflection is diameter. Besides the obvious adapting size transition, location of the taper also diverts the stress concentration....the better that is engineered....the thinner the wall (lighter assembly) that can be used.
