I was reinstalling the head on my gas 961 yesterday. After bolting down the head and installing the rockers and push rods, I cranked the engine of, with the plugs out, to make sure that the valve training was being oiled properly. When I did this it bent the heck out of one push rods for the #1 cylinder. It bent it right over where it came out of the head. Now I need a replacement, but the only new ones that I have found are for a diesel engine - does anybody have a spare used one that they would part with? I haven't tried to figure out why it bent over, I'm assuming that I didn't have it seated all of the way down in the lifter since the valves were moving fine when I pulled the head 15 months ago (because of zero compression in cylinders 1 and 2 which turned out to be due to a badly blown head gasket). I had the head cleaned, planed and pressure checked but didn't pull the valves. Thanks.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
