Broke 2 and had another on it's way when we discovered the problem. I ran these in a 440 shifting @ 6100 for 2 yrs with no problems. went ot a 500" shifting @ 6800 and the problem started. same cam and heads. maybe they don't like the rpm? I went with a set of smiths. only have 3 runs on them. my fingers are crossed.....

hey bob,the hs adjusters that were breaking was do to a heat treating problem they had.they were actually too hard.we started popping them like balloons.called em and they admitted the problem and replaced three sets at no charge.we had 5 break in one night at the track.kenny one his class that night but it sure was hectic pulling shafts fixing rockers and the adjusting valves between rounds.never had a problem after that.some of them that we have used since have had pretty crappy swedged holes for the allen wrench adjusters tho.

We were lucky and had it happen at the shop.We changed them out and no more problems

I've said it till Iam blue in the face.The cups for the indy pushrods are $hit!!!!You guys can candy coat it all you want but they are what they are.I think the cups are just to soft.Yes I have some that last but in the last year I have had a lot that broke.Now that more and more people are having problems,maybe just maybe not everyone is a dumb a$$.Lenny

Wow!!!Tell us how you really feel.I take it that we are not intitled to have a discussion with our opinions and thoughts or share our experiences and are too stupid to realize that you have all the answers and are the final judge on the issue.If you knew this for a fact all along,why were you using them in the first place and repeatedly.Now your the much wiser from your experience.Maybe a more subdued approach in delivering your opinion more people would listen and take your advise and you wouldn't be so "blue in the face"Just some advise from one of the "dumb azz's" here on moparts.

I do run better pushrods on my Jesel stuff.But on a mild street motor they should be fine,right?That is what I tought and so do most others.How come when 2 people had a problem it was there fault,pushrods too short,oiling problem and on and on.Now that maybe 20 people just on Moparts have had a problem maybe we all need to get better pushrods.THAT'S FUNNY AS HELL!!!!!If people keep calling Indy to rasie hell maybe it will change,maybe not.So for now keep digging broke cups out of your motor.Lenny

anecdotal experiences are just that, they are not based on any factural flaw in the push rod. We are just trying to figure out why they are failing...not just "everything Indy has is junk" You are right there is a problem and like all problems there is a solution. Yes maybe Indy rods should not be used till we figure out whats going on..

Maybe you ought to lead the crusade and champion the cause and call Indy and what will you raise hell about that some people have problems and some don't?Looking back on the many topics,there has been issues with a lot of major brand products.Go for it since your good at running your mouth and have such great communicatig skill.I will be the first to applaud you if you succeed. And you and all of us will breath better(no blue faces)
