pushrod length for milled heads what length pushrod are you guys running with milled heads. it looks like there is either 7.15 or 7.20. i assume it is the 7.15. i think i figured out that my intake pushrods are to long. i have real bad wear on the top of my reatainers only on the intake valves. these are lloyd elliot heads do you guys know how much they are milled. finally do you think i can run just a factory stamped steel 1.5 rocker and be ok.

could be both. you need to rotate the engine over by hand and watch the rocker motion and see what it does. a good tip for checking push rod length and location on the valve stem is to make sure the stem is clean and oil free, then color it with a parmenant marker or black marker. set the valve lash then rotate the engine. the roller tip will show where on the stem it rides by removing the larker on that area of the stem. as for rocker interferrence on the ratainer, well you should just watch it while you rotate the engine over.
not sure if you can use the stock rockers or not, sorry
