I've used the Great Planes pushrods many times before. Just keep the white pieces as small as they say. Second thought on this is when you are glueing the pieces on you need an applicator tip on the thin ca bottle. all it takes is a tiny drop on each side to hold it on. Anything more will just build up on the surface and add drag. I've never used any spray powder or anything else on pushrods. My feeling on this is if it has a bind right from the start while you are building the kit. now is the time to fix it.
