Yes, I believe you are correct. Hardened push-rods would have likely wasted the exhaust valves.
I wrote "Came down to two issues" but only listed one. Most would have figured it out if reading the complete post. The other was the defective harness. The one between the main motor harness and the coils. Purchased on Ebay and it was assembled backwards. (i.E. looking at the wrong side of the connector) The pins were reversed left to right. The plug at the coil end, only one row of pins there.
It is so satisfying to here it run, only reaching in and touching the key. No mad pumping of the throttle required. On the other hand it was an eye opener, pun intended, on how bad my eyes are. And yes, I had my glasses on. Dam getting old is the pits but the "die young and leave a beautify corpse" option is already gone. LOL.
Cheers.
