Ok so am I under thinking this process? Can i just snug up the checking pushrod against the lifter and the adjustable rocker? and use that measurement -.030? This is all new territory for me, the BB has always just had iron heads, stock rockers and pushrods. I don't want to not complete Dragweek and don't have billions to continually throw at valvetrain parts. Also since the Stealth's only accept 5/16" pushrods without modifications should i do the .118 wall Manton's? The only other Series 3 option at Manton is a .083" wall pushrod
If you are measuring for pushrods, snug the adjuster up with the pushrods until you can just barely feel the pushrod resist turning with your finger. Take that measurement, then ADD your preload to the length of the checking rod for your actual pushrod length. (basically, what you have above, but ADD the preload to your pushrod measurement)
