Comp cams is measuring them in a pushrod measuring fixture. If you put calipers on them it will be less. The fixture measures the length of it sitting in the ball cup. Since the radius on the tip has a flat, the actual length is less than if you continued that radius.

To me it looks like your drawing would explain if a pushrod was mic'n out shorter than advertised, not longer.

Exactly what I was going to say... his concept would hold true if people were measuring their PR's shorter than advertised... guys are doing just the opposite... measuring them long!

Here's what matters.....take the stockers and measure them. Then measure the new ones. Subtract and that's how much longer they actually are. In the end it's the "actual" length that matters, not the advertised. Then determine if that's enough preload or not.
