2000 7.3 pushrods/valvesprings

[powerstroke1098]

My trucks all stock except for a programmer, straight pipe(soon to be full 4 inch), and an intake. Im going to do injector o rings and while im doing them could i install heavy duty valve springs and pushrods? So eventually when i get a turbo a clutch and injectors I don't f my valve train? but can i run those stock is my question? And is their anything else i should install while im in their?

You can install them won't hurt anything stock. Imho tho I'd rather have a pushrod bed than a valve if it was to ever make piston to valve contact. the weakest link will give way and I'd rather replace a pushrod than pull the motor apart. Others will argue against this tho.

Well isn't it just as likely for a valve to bend with or without pushrods/valve springs?
