checking pushrods in LS1

thanks for the replies. :tup:

the exhaust is stock minus the mufflers being chopped. I’m not sure on what the engine speed was as it happened real quick… but just to give you a reference point, I was at the top of second gear (5500-6000ish rpm) and went to go bang 3rd and accidently went into 1st. (actually… I’m fairly certain this is how my ac pully got fubard)

Luckly the tires broke loose and right away, I hit the clutch. so most of the abuse seems to have been taken out there.

the car is an 04 GTO… plugs look really easy to get to actually. It sucks though… the car only has 32K miles and shouldn’t be running this harsh IMO. I don’t even really beat it either. 99% of the time, I’m keeping the revs under 3500rpm.

Do you think it’s possible that I got bad gas? It seems like this problem has been lingering for a while off and on, but just now seems to be getting worse… or I’m going insane. I’m also used to messing with Ford modular engines, so pushrod engines are actually pretty new to me :sword:
