Hello, For my rebuild I used a Comp Cam light weight fuel pump rod that had bronze tips on it.
After starting I thought I had a bad lifter on #2, changed it out but still had the tapping.
By the time I removed the pump to check the rod the end had mushroomed to the point that I had to remove the cam to get it out.
The cam lobe was fine and is still running the stock rod.
just my 2cents. K.E.N.
