Is this really necessary?
I was reading the instructions for installing comp cams magnum roller tip rocker arms. Under the special instructions it states...
"the use of old pushrods may result in pushrod or rocker arm failure. It is necessary that you install new pushrods with your new Magnum Roller Rocker Arms to insure you rocker arm warranty. Pushrod ends have a mated surface to the racker arm ball socket, much like a cam and lifter mate to each other. This is why used pushrods cannot be run with new Magnum Roller Rockers."
Do you really need to change pushrods if you put on new rocker arms? Is this just a product specific thing (for the magnum roller rockers) or would you have to change the pushrods when installing any brand of rocker set even if keeping stock ratio, etc?
Thanks for any input.
