Pushrod holder .... *BLING* pics
Well after knocking over the cardboard hobo holder or looking for something to keep the push-rods in order I got so aggravated and made this holder at work. Tooled it up out of Aluminum and buffed it up to make it shiny. I just have it sitting on my dial indicator base plate, not attached to it. Hope you enjoy.

Nice work Robert. Sure does look pretty. I have used the card board on several different occasions, just because it is cheap and handy. This tool you have made should be even easier to use. I had some aluminum blocks I was saving at work for just a project like this and never got around to using them. This would be perfect for that. I may go see if I can find those aluminum blocks tomorrow at work.

Very nice! But where are the drains? When you remove the pushrods Mobil
1 will slowly drain down to the bottom and pool. You should gun drill all the holes together and make a common drain! You don't work for GM, do ya?

Thanks for the nice comments, I had to make this one to go along with my home made jack pucks.
Cozmo I might see if I have enough to make another for you.

Just need to engrave a Vette or LS1 logo or something into that pushrod holder. Nice work for sure!
