Hi am starting to reassemble my 1312 engine and need to know if i should replace these pushrods. I have 2 sets that are the same on the end. I read a post on here that said if they had the pips on the end they are worn and need replacing. Is this correct or can the small pips be dressed off. 

I am fitting a new cam and followers.

 

Thanks Dan

I dress them off with a bench grinder. just the pip though, no more.

I read in Mini Magazine that they can be dressed off.

I didn't use anything too abrasive like a grinding disc so I did mine with a sanding disc on a mini grinder and they look fine.
