2001 Red Coupe Bandit

I had Patriot heads and have a set of AFR 215 heads for my 2001 C5 Corvette.

How do they measure or determine if the current push rods are the right length? Should I get new ones anyway? Mine have 15K miles onb them.

I am not an engine expert so explain how/what they do to determine this and is it an exact science, or if the person installing doesn't know what they are doing is it easy to mess this up?

I am getting AFR 215's to repace my Patriot LQ9 59 cc heads. Also am upgrading my CAM (because it was messed up from the OLD 228/228 .588/.588 114LSA.

to the NEW: 234/240 .598/.608 114 LSA

I just want to make sure that I They TEST my existing push rod length and make sure it is CORRECT for the new set up.

Those are stud mounted rockers, don't use that. Here is the method I use: Link

Also, before determining pushrod length, you need to make sure the rockers provide the correct wipe pattern. I found with my AFR's I needed some rather thick shims but the geometry came out really good.

What rockers are you going to run?
