    Default pushrod query

    After the Vs V6 Ecotec,are later V series ecotecs fitted with same pushrods?
    Am looking at getting yella terra 1.95's (yt6662),they dont come with new pushrods,so am thinking of replacing old ones (car has 278,000 k's) with something newer(?).
    What is the latest model that had the same size pushrods? (ie ,VT, VX, VE, etc)or are they all the same.
    Anyone got a good contact that has yella terra 1.95's?

    vs - vy are all ecotec thus for using all the same Roller rockers. VZ - VE use Alloytec, different rockers once again.
    If it's not a Symptom its not relevant, and if its not relevant I don't care!

    As above. However, all the YT V6 rockers i've dealt with require different length to stock pushrods. Are you buying them new from YT? Maybe give them a call to see if you can buy the required pushrods by themself. I've found them really good to deal with in the past and quite helpful.
    Cheers

    Yeah should of mentioned I think it was with the VX - VY they were having problems with the rocker it's self hitting the cast iron heads.... Apparently you can grind some of the head away, if you do this make sure you cover up anywhere the bits of metal can get down into the bores.
    If it's not a Symptom its not relevant, and if its not relevant I don't care!
