Pushrod length...?

1524 Views 5 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  NITROUS FORD
Going to make a pair of pushrod length checking tools... with D0VE heads on a factory block, what is the worst case shortest/longest I need to think about making them fit... maybe 8.4" - 8.9"?

Thanks

I just did mine and came up with 8.750. This was with D0VE heads, Ferrea valves (longer stem) and Comp roller tip rockers. First time I have ever done this so I can't offer much more advice.

Best of luck

Yes Tom, 8.4"-8.9" should cover 95% of pushrod lengths used/needed by engine combinations such as yours.

Mine came out like 8.25"-9" used a stock push rod and a valve cover stud
Thanks guys, appreciate the help!

would 9.250 be to big on the roller tip rockers!
