I have two bent push rods on my '44 H. can I straighten them? if not, where can I find new ones, and should I just replace them all, they should not be very expensive. also, I mght need some of the two ended threaded bolts that thread into the block and through the head, can a guy get those anywhere. Thanks

Andy in Indiana

Push rods can be straightened. I have done it a few times with excellent, long lasting results. Just lay the push rod down on a good, solid, smooth flat surface with the "hump" up, and give it a few smacks with a hammer. Be firm with the hammer, but not abusive. Test your work by rolling the push rod across the flat surface. If it doesn't pass the test, smack it some more.

You might have to find the head studs used, there should be bunches of them out there somewhere.

We call that "peening" around here. Done with a ballpeen hammer - ya sorta slap the hammer on the high spot. Don't let the hammer bounce.

I'm not complaining, just being accurate (my grandpa had me corrected by 8 yrs old on the term as I built up sickle bars for the mower. Peening is deforming metal so that it is changed in shape.
Rivets are an example. The shank is pounded on with the rounded end of a "Ball Peen" hammer to enlarge it and round it to prevent it from coming out.
A cross peen hammer has a rounded chisel like head opposite its "normal" head.
Shot peening uses steel balls to deform the surface of metal to relieve stress (bu making small er stress areas out of grossly larger ones.
Using the flatter end of that hammer is just impact straightening. JimN

Jim, I'm with you on that theory.
