My story doesnt involve removing engines or transmissions, but my first car was a 73 Mach 1, which had a pretty stout 351C. I maintained it very well, but wasn't afraid to run it. After thinking I had possibly wiped a lobe or two, I figured out that I had a few bent pushrods. It got to the point where I could pull the car into the garage, and have all 16 push rods out within about 8 minutes. I used the side of a 10 gallon fish tank to roll them on, and would routinely replace at least several at a time.
