The Oldsmobile Omega Pushrod provides reliable valve timing. It uses the camshaft motion to transfer the motion to the cylinder head so that the intake and exhaust valves can open and close at the appropriate time. Inside this OHV layout, the cam is low in the block, lifters ride the lobes, a thin Pushrod runs up through the head, and a rocker arm tips the valve sealing the combustion to build proper compression and power in each cylinder. Earlier and later versions of the Oldsmobile Omega applied this simple single Pushrod per valve design, which was simpler than the overhead cam alternatives of other brands. Though the basic design remained the same, slight improvements in metallurgy and oiling were made in an effort to reduce wear that can cause the lash to enlarge. With extra clearance, components slam together, hammering on the Pushrod until it bends, causing noisy ticking sounds, misfires, or even piston contact. When valve springs get weakened by heat and mileage, they can float at high rpm, which is another condition that puts stress on the Pushrod and rocker pair. Routine checks of the lashes and healthy spring pressures keep the system stable, maintaining the crisp breathing that gives an Oldsmobile V8 or V6 its smooth pull. Thanks to this tried and tested hardware, the final Omega generations still delivered reliable, low-maintenance performance.
