Good point. I actually checked that yesterday and the ball of the rocker adjuster goes in as far on the cup of a new rod as it goes into the cup of an existing rod. I take that to mean that it fits properly in that respect. Cup is same diameter as ball of adjuster.
As far as hollow push rods go, neither existing or new rods give me any indication of being hollow. In other words, there's no hole at either end of the rod on new or old. Whether they have a hollow core or not, I couldn't say or know from looking.
