Re: pushrods question found it. vanguard v-twins--- aluminum pushrod = exhaust
steel pushrod = intake
I guess the 35 hp engines have the same pushrods for both intake and exhaust

Re: pushrods question Correct, 35 are the same. On a 23, the larger (fatter) rod is for exhaust side.

Re: pushrods question Yes, but just in case he did not know I used the proximity reference.
