Re: Ford Y Block Hollow Pushrods Cleaning
Just leave the thread like an orphan and it will go away buy itself .Answering it only keeps it alive.

Re: Ford Y Block Hollow Pushrods Cleaning

here are pic's of NAPA replacement pushrods. the press in tops are cone shaped and they have press in bottom ball ends. my couple of replacement pushrods are just like these. the old ones are beginning to look like solid ones to me. i don't see any seams at top and bottom. they have a funny feel weight wise, i don't know what they're made of. doesn't feel like solid steel. have a nice day!

Re: Ford Y Block Hollow Pushrods Cleaning
More than likely those push rods were replaced due to a few different problems , like a bent push rod or one that was worn for one reason or another .
I build and rebuild engines and have done many of them over the last 40 years ! Now listen to what I am going to say , "Oil does not go through the push rods because it's a solid lifter engine ! That means you don't need oil being pushed through a hollow push rod from the lifter to the rocker arms ." The hollow push rods were made for the Y block to save money , period . The oil that gets to the rocker arms on a Y block come through the rocker shaft . Now if you can't get it this way then do just like everyone else here does and BUY A DAMN Y BLOCK BOOK AND READ IT ! Just asking the damn same old questions all the time will get you the same damn answers ! Jim |

staying on the subject here, the solid pushrods feel like they're made out of some Ford alloy. something between steel and cast iron. i think that a lot of the model t castings were made from some material that Ford came up with. note: in post #8 i said i caught on to how these pushrods work. have a nice day!

Re: Ford Y Block Hollow Pushrods Cleaning
Any body that knows Y Blocks, especially the 50's ones, know that Ford never used tubular pushrods. They always used the skinny ones. Not sure about the 60's Y's.

Re: Ford Y Block Hollow Pushrods Cleaning
At the bottom end, splash. At the top, from the oil holes in the rockers.

Re: Ford Y Block Hollow Pushrods Cleaning
Say, all american boy, where are you located? Maybe someone from The Barn could drop by and give you a hand, maybe show you how these Y blocks work.

Our 292 went bye-bye. What are you talking about? I haven't posted here in months. Why would I want to see somebody in person about an engine that isn't here?
