just FYI, i guess you could consider the rods im selling as what the diesel guys call "polished". the forging slag ridge on the sie of the rod is "polished" with a beltsander just as the rods are balanced the same way.
as for your pushrods: what? i'm lost. apparently you have me confused with someone else? i got a call from a guy that said he needed a custom length pushrod. he said .160 longer than stock. i told him a week and it ended up being 2.5 weeks before they shipped out. guy on the phone said he "wasnt in a hurry" i figured if it was an issue the guy that ordered would have called back. i dont write down ever joe, dick, and harrys phone number that calls me for parts. apparently he didnt write mine down either, or he was too lazy to look my number up here on compd because i never had any calls or voicemails about a set of custom pushrods. never seen a pm either. hmm interesting.
was this you? if so, they must have short days in WI or maybe your just a little on the high side of your time estimates. it was definitely my fault they didnt arrive in a week. but, i distinctly remember writing the length down and calling directly to the manufacturer with lengths. either your were wrong or i was which is very unlikely but i'll give you your money back regaurdless of whos fault it was. send them back and ill paypal you your money back.
