Pushrod length? I have 7.4's now. I think I will need 7.35 with the new heads. AFR205's milled .030 with stock GM gasket (don't trust cometics, they leak) I know I should use a pushrod length checker, but need to order the pushrods.

is 7.400 the normal length? Thats what Lengenfelter sells with the GT2-3 cam i want but someone told me to do it right you need to measure the base circ on the cam. Usually aftermarket cams are ground -.030" so you would need a 7.430.

You have to measure preload to find the right pushrod length, I just don't know how to do it. We have always used a 7.35 on milled heads and a 7.4 on stock. Not that it's my car I want to make sure I do it right.
I'm Using new GM LS7 lifters also.
