afr heads need longer pushrods?
afr heads need longer pushrods? Aite I finally! Got around to ordering my 225s they're on the way now but it just hit me today do I need longer pushrods? Since they have a 3/4 deck height they'll sit higher right? I'm running a comp hardened 7.4 standard length right now but will I need longer if so how much?
Thanks guys

Buy a pushrod length checking tool. That is the only way to know for sure. As jaber911 said, there are many factors in getting the correct pushrod length, one size does not fit all 
.
COMP Cams 7702-1 - COMP Cams Hi-Tech Pushrod Length Checking Tools
Best of luck with it.

. Is there anyway to calculate a rough estimate cuz I'm already going to be pushing the dead line I really want to have it done by the f body meet in myrtle beach this year? If I can get it close to have it there I'd be more than happy to change them after
Specs are stock 2002 ls1 block, cometic .051 head gasket, afr 225s 72cc, a 224 224 .612 .609 116lsa 114icl the lifters are comp cams comp r lifters and stock 1.7 rockers
Maybe you can get me close I know what works on one car won't work on another but I just wana atleast get it close for the meet
Thanks guys

Have you checked the Comp requirements for Comp R's? The recommended preload is 0.002"-0.004" and Comp recommends adjustable rockers. Seems you are in a rush to get this done and my suggestion would be to slow down and sort out what parts you have bought. I also personally wouldn't run stock rockers with AFR heads/bronze valve guides. I also wouldn't run stock rockers with Comp R's as getting the preload correct would be difficult at best, in a rush near impossible. Remember, the tolerance on pushrods is +/- 0.005", which is already outside the bounds of the Comp recommended preload of their lifter. You also need to check the rocker wipe on the AFR heads, which will change the pushrod length requirement. I needed to adjust the height of my rockers on my AFR's by 0.125" to get the geometry correct. This in turn changes pushrod length by ~0.200".
From their web site:
Pro Magnum Hydraulic Roller Lifters
Chevrolet Small block. For use in blocks originally equipped with hydraulic roller cam. 1987 to present, and GEN III, LS1, LS2, and LS6.
COMP Cams® Pro Magnum Hydraulic Roller Lifters™ are specifically designed to perform at higher engine speeds. When engines are equipped with a hydraulic camshaft, high rpm is limited by the improper position of the internal piston as the lifter inevitably "pumps up". This improper location results in open valves and therefore leads to lost power or sometimes even engine failure. NOTE: These lifters require an adjustable valve train (check here for adjustable valve train components), and must be pre-loaded to .002" to .004" for proper operation!
