Question help me pick the right pushrod. 7.260 at ZERO preload. LS7 lifters.

ok, i have been working on a PTV problem and the pushrods are part of the issue. i had 7.4 pushrods with stock rockers and they are too long. the head have been milled .015". i made an adjustable pushrod and it is 7.260" long at zero preoad on the LS7 lifters.

i beleive the ls7's like .080 of preload. that would make the pushrod .080 longer. or 7.340" so would some 7.350's be perfect for me?

If .080" is the right preload then 7.340" would be correct for you.
