I'll be replacing the cam in LEC, and it'll need new tappets, and is it advisable to replace the push rods as well?

The ONLY time I ever replace pushrods is if they are physically bent! I wouldn't dream of replacing a cam without swapping out the followers too, but replacing the pushrods wouldn't even show on my radar.

Cheers Steve, I know about replacing tappets for a new can, I just heard that tappets have unique wear patterns on the push rods so would I replace the push rods, either way, thanks Steve
