Predator already chimed in on this once...now I need some other opinions..
I have MS3 and terminator 200cc heads going in...stock rockers...

should i stick with stock length hardened push rods...or go with the 7.425's to tighten up preload...

THANKS

If the heads are stock height, id go for the 7.425s personally. Im running a ****-ton of preload and loving it.

measure it and set to to factory specs...too much preload can be bad too

Heck yeah. Just make sure that the cam lobe is on the base circle (lowest point) and that you don't compress the lifter plunger. It's pretty straight forward. Do a search and you'll find a multitude of how-to threads.

BTW, Erik, are you an hockey goalie?

Brooks is a great school in a very nice area $$$. I'm sure your parents were pleased that you decided to build a hot rod over going to Sufolk .

Many moons ago I played at Newton South . We sucked and used to get schooled regularly by Newton North's JV team lol.

On the pushrod checker. It's easy to use, but remember not to turn the engine over with the checker in there.
