pushrods and valvetrain

[vortex1369]

i'm replacing the lifters in my firehawk, just wondering if i need to replace the pushrods with them, or anything else. I'm not looking to upgrade at this point, just replace whats necessary.

thanks

Take the push rods out and roll them on a flat surface table floors etc you can tell if there bent when you roll them

Then you'll have to remove the heads to get at the lifters, right?
I would imagine you would want to have the heads & valves cleaned up and possibly replace rockers?

heads and lifters are all removed. had one lifter out of place like i had expected. everything has been cleaned up. Is it necessary to replace the rockers?

Negative its not necessary with but I would look into replace the lifter trays as well

I would use a piece of glass for the flat surface. Something like an old window or similar.
