Pushrod Length For Ls6 Motors? Just curious is there a difference in lengths on the LS1 motors than the LS6 motors when it comes to the pushrods? I think 7.4 is the standard for both, but want to make sure. :thumbs:
Thanks in advance,
Micah

The pusrods are the same but the LS6 cam has a smaller base circle. The valves are slightly longer to make up the difference in the cam base circle.

Please note that this cam has approximately a 0.050" smaller base circle than a stock LS1 camshaft. This smaller base circle will require longer pushrods for applications with stock length valves and no milling for the head surface. It is imperative that you check your pushrod length when purchasing this cam. The 2002 Z06 cylinder heads use a longer valve to make-up this difference!
