[DeTomaso] pushrod length

[Jerry Knotts]

Charles,

Being a red neck mechanic I have used a screen door brace turn buckle 
and measured the distance between the turn buckle rod ends with a 
vernier caliper.

YMMV,

   Hi all

   My motor is apart to fix an oil leak by changing the cam, installing a
   stroker crank, new pistons, con-rods etc. I sure hope this fixes the
   oil leak! The shop doing the work doesn't have a gauge-thing to measure
   the desired pushrod length, and I shouldn't re-use the old ones as I
   now have hydraulic roller lifters instead of solid lifters, a different
   cam, etc. Is there any way to calculate correct pushrod length without
   this little tool? Any suggestions? The shop is located in Spain and has
   assembled other American V-8s if all the parts are provided.


   Thank you!
