What length pushrod...? I have no way of measuring what length pushrod I'm going to need for my cam. Anyone running the old MTI X1? (230/227 .591/.571 112) Running on stock 243 heads. If someone is already running this combo could you tell me what pushrod you are using?

to check for push rod length using the stock push rod as measuring tool,finger tighten the rocker arm bolt while spinning the push rod ,when both stop turning this is 0 lash.you should be able to turn the bolt 1.5 turns at 22lbs on a torque wrench.less than 1.5 turns ,you need a longer push rod 7.425,more than 2 a shorter push rod 7.375.I've been told these lifters like .050- .080 preload.make sure the cam lobe you are measuring on is on its base circle.
