...On the TF Mustang, if you crash and the cowl hits the ground first, then the cowl might get pushed back into the pushrod tubes and bend them if it's a hard enough impact.
These pushrod tubes, do they make contact to the ground at all when crashing? or are they "protected" by the crankshaft and the valve covers when crashing in open terrain?
Im glad to here that they seem to be pretty durable after all. But if they break, the valves can go right throu the piston right?
