ok, so i am confused. I measured for push rods today. I measured both intake and exhaust on every cylinder, all of them at TDC when i measured. Each side seems to vary by alot.
I measured them to have a .075 preload, and used the adjustable comp cams push rod checker.

Here are my results:
Intake is left side/exhaust right side
#1-7.4/7.4
#2-7.41/7.42
#3-7.33/7.36
#4-7.41/7.41
#5-7.32/7.38
#6-7.41/7.41
#7-7.33/7.37
#8-7.41/7.41

is it normal for the driver side and passenger side to be so far off from each other?

And after looking at this, is there one set length that i can buy that will work for all of them? If so, what am i ordering?

If I didn't know better, I'd say you have one head milled more than the other, lol.

How are you measuring? Are you sure you were on TDC of the compression stroke?

I used a piston stop. Rotated clockwise, marked the damper, rotated counter clockwise, marked the damper, measured to the middle of those 2 marks and used the 3rd mark as TDC.

A little more info on the setup:
Tony Mamo did the AFR 230V2 heads on it.
brian tooley lifters
Arun's stage 3 Jam Cam
LS9 gaskets

I switched from
Stock 243's
ECS baby cam
LS7 lifters
LS9 gaskets

I am second guessing myself, thats why i posted here. I wonder if i am not on compression stroke on one side.
Not sure what kind of difference it would make but im sure it would be off.

Thanks for this post I'm almost ready to measure myself...hope someone come in and get you squared away..

I am going to do them all over again today and see what i come up with. I wonder if i had done some on exhaust instead of compression stroke

I like to use the EOIC method.

When the Exhaust Opens, check the intake. When the Intake Closes, check the exhaust.

I have no pushrods, i gave them to the guy that bought my stock heads. So nothing opens or closes, lol
