pushrod question

Bought a TSP cam kit and now i'm switching heads for unmilled 243's but w/a thinner gasket...are my pushrods still usable?

More than likely yes. But and I say but because you should aways check your P to V when doing anything like this.

Are your going to use the stock 5.7 mls gaskets? Which cam kit? 90% of the persons cars I do are TSP products.

TSP 224 R
slightly thinner mls gasket

it's a small cam w/only 58x lift so I figured it wouldn't be an issue since the person I got them from ran the same cam but w/stock gasket.
