What length pushrods do I need??? I had my stock LS1 heads hand ported rather extensivley(did not mill heads), put some Patriot dual springs, Comp cams oem replacement lifters, still the ole Hotcam and LS6 valves. Can I still use the 7.400 hardened pushrods I have or do I need something shorter? Thanks!

Even if the valves are longer in length? This is the only thing i can think of thats causing the chattering I am hearing once the motor gets warm.

So to cure your chattering you need 7.35 p-rods. right now you have too much preload and your lifters are bottoming out. (Could collapse)
Hope this helps.
