Hi Charles,
I had a set of custom pushrods from Smith Brothers 0.083 x 7.800" w/ 0.040
Restrictors for my roller rockers (Crane CR-36532-16) with a crane cam
(Crane #523942 I/E 216/228 524/519).
Not sure what you are running for rollers... but hopefully that will get
you in the ballpark.
Enjoy,
Best regards,

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