Manton pushrods

I`m just about to assemble some new Manton Series 5 pushrods ( for our TFX/BAE fuelheads) and was a little qurious how others have done this.
I guess i should put the rod together in a hydralic press or...?
Do I need heat the pushrod to get the tip pressed in?
I doubt that is the right way to go..
Will email manton too, but I thought it would be interesting to hear some diffrent opinions/experiences on this..

there is a special reamer to ream the tubes to press them in...we have a full machine shop here for our race car, and I still like to send them to manton to have them do it..if in a bind I will do it myself...they do it for very little of nothing..Dave

 

one last thing don't heat them if its tool steal or!!! you will have to re heat treat them, we heat treat parts here and there is a million and one things to know about heat treating..and iam on 100..Dave
