When do you guys know when to replace pushrods and springs.I had some problems with my motor and none of the pushrods are bent but the tips are shiny,and the springs went from 220# to 190# i have replaced the springs but not sure about the pushrods.Thanks

Probaly just wore through black oxide coating as long as tips are smooth and not wore,usaully pushrod will show wear around edges of oil hole will look like it's chipping along edge of oil hole when it's wore.
Just guessing you are describing coating wore off which is normal
