recently lost some power.
inspection revealed two bent push rods, one on #5, one on #6.
two new push rods from napa were almost half inch longer than the old ones.
what should the push rod length be for a 54 235?
thanks

Did you clean out the gas tank and lines before adding new gas? Better check to see if the affected valves are not stuck or sticking before replacing the pushrods.
