And last but not least: Manton Racing custom made HD push rods.

may sound super spendy, but I actually only paid about $300 for all 3 combined.

Having push rods custom made is actually about $70 cheaper than pre-made push rods sitting on a shelf.

and the springs with a little research in size, installed height, seat pressure, and spring rate, can be had for about $200-300 cheaper than you can buy them off the shelf for "application specific" springs.. doing your homework can save you a lot of money The valve springs original application was for a dodge neon but they just so happen to fit a cummins and have the right spring pressure to be a great upgrade for either turning higher than redline RPM's, or for running boost over 50psi.

maybe I'll start a build thread on here for once... cummins forum got my last build thread when I did the twins, head studs, powder coating, clutch, exhaust, etc..

So, those mighty springs for your souped up Cummins were originally for a Dodge Neon?

I've never washed mine in the 2 and half years I've had it either. I took household hose to it one time, but I found out that it doesn't really work the same a pressure washer. Maybe one of these days I'll go thru the wash.
