I never push anyway, rolling and pulling is quicker. That and the problem was fixed on the engines of the Mark2 spits that are in the game.

"By 1941 Miss Tilly Shilling in Farnborough had developed a partial cure for the problem. A diaphragm across the float chambers with a calibrated hole (the infamous "Miss Shilling's orifice"!) allowed negative 'g' manouvres, and was fitted as standard from March 1941. Sustained zero 'g' manouvres were not sorted out until somewhat later."

Well more or less fixed!
