Dave, Pushrod length is very critical. Summit and Jegs sell a simple pushrod checker, with the rocker arm off and the lifter on the heel of the camshaft the checker is placed on the rocker stud and if it touches the valve stem and pushrod you're close. Next put machinist dye on the top of the valve stem and place the roller rocker on and set the per load. Rotate the engine a couple of revolutions and check the valve stem for contact. The contact pattern should be centered on the stem if the pushrod is the correct length. Ron:gba:
