Default Pushrod length question...

Would shorter or longer pushrods be needed for a block that has been decked, heads milled .010-.015 and if it matters a bigger cam installed. I know its pretty vague but i'm trying to get some info for my bro who is finishing up his block right now, but he's not available for me to get some specifics.
Thanks,
J

If any adjustments are needed it will be shorter.

Cool, Thanks, thats what we were thinking but we have some hard headed dude insisting that they will need to be longer.
Guess it time to get a pushrod length checker.

Your more than likely looking at a different size rod. Definetely shorter, but you won't know how much w/o a length checking tool. Good luck.

Yep, going down to the speed shop tomorrow to pick one up to see what length we need to go with, this project has been a long one for my bro and he's a few parts away from completion.
