Default Pushrod Question
I'm doing a head/cam swap on a '98 A4. The new cam is a Comp 228/228 588/588 /112 lsa. The heads are stock milled .030. What length pushrods will I need?

Well i would say stock pushrods are 7.400... so 7.400 - .030 = 7.370, But you should just use a pushrod length checker anyways to just be safe.

Does everyone agree? What if I just went with a 7.350; which I have a set of,,,
Would it be too far off?

I think you are going to come up a little short with the 7.350, but get a checker like everyone said.
