Default Need help with valvetrain noise.

I just did a cam install yesterday and now my valvetrain is extremely noisy: 04 Z06 Cam, LS2 springs, stock push rods. I've heard you need to change the push rods on the Z06 cam because of the smaller diameter. If so what length? Thanks!

I can't help you but I have the same problem. I did a SLP stage III head/cam package that came with pushrods in 2005 and it is a noisy mother lover. I am having to drive the car more now and I hate the noise.
