Building a 5.9Magnum. Trying to do it on the low-buck option. I installed a Lunati Hyd. Roller and intended to use the factory rockers and pushrods. I am using Mopar Performance Springs Mancini Racing recommended. I failed to notice the new springs are not as tall as the original beehive springs. Now I don't have any lifter pre-load possible. I have checked the lash and the widest gap is about .083. I will have to order some pushrods, so what length do I specify? I can add the .083 to the factory length to get back to 0 but how much do I add for pre-load? I tried to measure this and ended up with .030 at 3/4 turn. I'm trying to avoid ordering some checking pushrods.Anybody else have this problem?

call Smith Bros Pushrods in Burns Oregon. They can help and are the best in my book...

Thanks. I had forgotten about them. Already looked at their site. Price is a whole lot cheaper than adjustable rockers.
