Morel Lifters - Pushrod Length I measured the Morels last night with a disassembled adjustable pushrod in the pushrod cup. It appears the Morels are 0.030" longer from the tip of the roller to the pushrod cup than the stock lifters. Has anyone found an off the shelf pushrod length that provides the correct Morel preload with stock gaskets? I plan to measure this weekend, but the math is telling me I may need custom pushrods.

Well, I ended up measuring for the Crane rockers, which are adjustable so I won't be much help on the stock rockers. Just for information, the Crane pushrods for their rockers and a stock setup are 7.250". As noted above, the Morel's are about 0.030" longer from roller to pushrod cup. They also use less preload than stock. After measuring for the Crane rocker, I ordered 7.150 pushrods.
