2 different pushrod lengths?

Just put the tsp tsunami cam in my car. It has 7.400 length hardened pushrods in it now and I'm getting 1 3/4 turns on the exhaust rocker bolt and 1- 1 1/8 turns on the intake rocker bolt before it bottoms out. I'm doing the eoic method and starting to count the turns at zero lash. So the question is........ Should I put a longer pushrod on the intake valves or run it the way it is?

I used two different lengths for my build. I think it's about .040" per full turn, so a .025" longer pushrod should take up the 5/8" turn difference.

I'm sure you can. My buddy dropped one on the ground during install and to be safe, ordered a new one from comp.

Sure you can. Call up Trend or Manton, those are the two major pushrod makers.
