Default Pushrod Length

i have a hotcam in my car and heads that are milled .035. Do i need the stock pushrods or do i need to go with a 7.35 pushrod.

Thanks

i don't know the lift of your cam but i assume it isn't over .580. stay with the 7.4's

If your heads are milled I don't think you need to be running the stock length pushrods. I would ask who did the heads what size they recommend for that setup. Or you can measure whats in the car already.

Hey...Lighten up..... Sometimes you might just have to wait more than 2 hours. Give it a little time.

Use stock 7.40" rods.

for a/m cams and milled heads (up to .040), the p-rod geometry is pretty close to stock. a 7.4 is fine.

I wasnt trying to be rude or anything but in most cases when i post somthing over here it seems like a get someone either telling me to go do a search wich i done before posting or i get no reply at all.

I would try the stock pushrod first and do the how many turns for preload test.I put on LS6 heads shaved .030 and running a TR224 Cam and used 7.350 pushrods because 7.40's were too long.
