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?

My original post only suggests that I would like to determine the length... since I want to make sure it is correct.

Especially since I know that when using the stock cam, (per my machine shop guy) I need to add a shim, since the valve to piston clearance is already tighter than normal.

And especially since I know that (when I disassembled the engine) the intake manifold mounting holes had previously been "hogged out" a great deal in order to get the intake to fit correctly.

Anybody?
