Can Get Exact Length Of Pushrod! How? I have set of 1.8 rocker arms from PRW. but I tried several time trying to put them in. but everytime I tried engine doesn't start. it just spin out and after couple tries engine does not build compression in the piston. I have LQ4 ported heads with LS6 cams. using comp cam 7.400 harden pushrod.
here's my Q I have seen adjustable push rod. that can measure it.
but my mechanic and other sources telling me it might be too short that I need 7.500.
need some answer to put my rocker arms in it's been giving me nothing but headache

Are these rockers fully adjustable or when you bolt them down do they seat? If fully adjustable, then you also need to check your wipe pattern because the pushrod length will determine the final preload and wipe pattern simultaneously. Can you provide any photo's or something to see what they look like?
