That's a down hill battle lost before you start lol. Even a centerless carbide end mill in the lathe would not hardly scratch those Smith bro harden tips; I've shattered enough of them on the Bridgeport to know how that goes. I'll just use those rods on a more time worthy build and order the 2...

Thanks for all the suggestions and details for cutting them down and reassemble. I've actually made many pushrods from comps 4130 material and ends and cut down others for certain engines on the lathe. I'm not interested nor have the time right now to do all that for just this slant 6. It's...

I figured I would asked since this is an oddball length that nothing uses and I really don't want to pay Smith Brothers $170 again to make another set. (I...

Ok thanks

Ok, thanks for all the replies. This was a learing mistake for sure. I will be swapping all of it back around to the hyd rockers. Never heard of an engine oil system backwards like this. By the way what's the differences in the rocker shafts, hyd vs mec? They both are oil through. Does it...
