Checking bent push rods tool?
Is there any tool to check if the push rods got bent?
I roll 2 of them together on a flat surface and don't see any bending.
Is that the only way to check them?
Thanks,
-Mike

You guys are pretty rough, did anyone say that to you the first time you opened your motor? A person puts up a post with a question and you give him crap, this is why some people only lurk and don't post 
And in case you didn't notice, he is also a supporting vendor to boot!!!!!
To answer the original question, if more precision is required an optical comparitor could be used.

Thanks y'all!!!!
In my first post, I forgot to state that I rolled 2 of them together on a glass surface ...
Well, let me see if I can find a optical comparitor.
I am pretty sure that they are not bent but since they are out, just wanna check to make sure 100%.

I am hoping that JonJon was agreeing with me agreeing with wrustywrench about the sheet of glass and got the quote and the agree backwards.
