Okay...back to Mr. Wisotzkey's stmt "but at the least, install a heavier set
of pushrods." This would indicate the 5500 RPM+ version ($535). If I spend
the extra $100+ in any case, it won't hurt, right? Pros? Cons?

No need on the V6 for the spring replacement...even with the 1.7:1 rockers.
(Good idea but again, not required unless he's changing out the cam..and
even then...it may not even be required.)
