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.

The PN breakdown gives you the ends ELGIN used. As for being hollow, you shouldn't be able to determine by sight as the ends are installed. If the ELGINS were solid they would weigh much more then the OEM.
Hollow gives strength and it took FORD few years to realize that.
