Quote: YOU DO NOT ADJUST PUSHROD LENGTH BASED ON VALVE TO PISTON CLEARANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, so when does the pushrod length need to be considered? And how it is verified without adjustable rockers?
when you deck the block and the head A LOT , which sounds like the case here since you don't have enough piston to valve clearance now , take one of your old pushrods put it in place with head on the block and pick a spot in the valley that you can easily get at with wrenches and cut about an inch and half out of it , thread the inside ... FINE THREAD .... get a piece of threaded rod and 2 nuts , wala ADJUSTABLE PUSHROD ... find out the length you need with it .
