PR lenght

How do you determine what size Pushrods you need? I am doing a simple Heads/cam setup with 1.7 rockers and supporting mods...will any of this affect it? what about the Head gasket size? How do I determine what thickness gasket I need as well?

thanks guys...

use a stock headgasket. get a pushrod length checker and simply check. there are plenty of write ups on the ins and outs. just do a quick search.

did search...came up empty handed...

I've always found the search button to be a bigger waste of time than just asking...

although I agree. I simply do not feel like typing the full thing out. Basically its pushrod checker, cam on base circle, go to zero lash, tighten rocker to 22 lb/ft, adjust PR checker to determine length and then factor in preload for whatever lifter you have. i think 0.030 is a good number for most LSX lifters but Its definitely 3 am and I could be forgetting something or have that number wrong. Anyone else feel free to chime in
