Do you know that all of the valve stem tips are at the same exact height? If not, this could be why you're seeing different PR length measurements.

Has there been any valve seat or valve work done on these heads. If so, that could lead to inconsistent valve step tip heights.

Update: I see vettenuts commented on this also and you said there was work done on the heads. Check the valve stem heights to verify they are all the same or not.

Yep, that's where I was going.

If these heads were run before, what pushrods were being used and why are you changing them?
