Okay....1996 460 EFI engine with F3TE heads and non-adjustable stock rockers.
I measured the lifter preload yesterday and it was .060" (which according to Randy should be between .040" and .080" for a non-high performance setup) and valve lash with a dry lifter is .090". I still have the stock pushrods and that is what I used to measure the length. But this morning, I get to work to measure the pushrods just to make sure what size to order and they measure out at 8.59375"
. I thought the stock pushrods were 8.55". So now I don't know which size to order. If I order the 8.55" pushrods then I take my lifter preload out of whack and the lifter preload goes to approximately .01625" which isn't enough. The valve lash would still be within acceptable range but the preload won't be. So do I order 8.6" pushrods from Summit Racing or what?
