Default Cam and rocker install questions

I am installing a set of YT 1.8 ratio roller rockers and a z06 cam. I know that is is suggested to get a slightly longer length pushrod for the z06 cam but I am not sure if this will need something different since I doing the rockers also. I know I need to check and see where my roller rocker are hitting in the valve stems. Also what would be a good brand to go with

Also in the cam guide sticky I notice they had a crane cams tool for compressing the valve springs does anyone else sell a tool like this. I went looking though a MAC tools catalog today and didn't see any like that. I am gonna dig up a snap on one and look in that too. that and ask my rep when they come by the shop.

I don't know about the push rods, but the valve spring tool is absolutely the cats ***. It works great. You can get one from Vinci who is a sponsor on the side --------->

I am not sure what springs you are installing, but if they are the Z06 springs, you may not have enough pressure for those rockers.

Thanks I am using the comp 918 springs they should be fine for the z06 cam and the rockers. I guess I will just wait till I have it all apart and check my valve geometery then.
