Pushrods

CLEANING
Clean the push rods in a suitable solvent. Rinse in hot water and blow dry with compressed air. If necessary, use a wire brush or wheel to remove stubborn deposits.

INSPECTION





Fig. 219

Inspect the push rod ball and socket for signs of scoring. Check for cracks where the ball and the socket are pressed into the tube (Fig. 219).





Fig. 220

Roll the push rod on a flat work surface with the socket end hanging off the edge (Fig. 220). Replace any push rod that appears to be bent.
