LQ9 Pushrods length
i almost finish building my engine . I have a 2005 6.0 with a BTR TRUCK STAGE II CAM .I put 243 stock heads and stock oem lifters . BTR recommends a 7.400" pushrod with unmilled heads. I used a comp cams pushrod length checker and came out with 7.325", then i added 0.060" for lifter preload and matched the 7.385" . So I am new at this and was wondering if I am right with the numbers. Also do I need specific pushrods besides 5/16 and both ends are balled? Do I have to have the exact 0.060 lifter preload or can i use 0.050" and go with 7.375 pushrods?
