[DeTomaso] Angående: Re: pushrod length

[gudmund frøland]

Hi Charles.  I would recomend you to by one adjustable pushrod and physical meshure the lengst you nead after the engine is asembled. I think that is the onley way to get the propper lengte?

  Subject: [DeTomaso] pushrod length
  A
  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!
