Buy the $20 pushrod length checker and verify the proper length for your particular application! Its easy to do, and will save you a headache if you get the wrong ones because of some bad intell.

Like Kevin said, there's only one way to do it right! There are enough slight differences in block deck height from the factory that you really should check it. Unmilled heads and stock gaskets will put you in the neighborhood of 7.400", but like Kevin found, guessing doesn't guarantee the correct length!

He's right, there's HP in using the proper lenght pushrods. Get a pushrod checker and make sure your getting all you should out of your install.

Good info. Not to , but how in the **** did you get an ms4 to fit with 59cc 5.3 heads? How much fly cutting?

OP: Are you heads off? Might as well get them worked on since you don't have everything fully assembled yet.
