Small Blocks

I worked at a auto parts store years ago and I remember this guy who was building his 400 Pontiac with mostly factory available parts, he went through like 3 or 4 sets of push rods till he got 16 that either where the same length or very very close to the same length, he measured every single one of those pushrods.

That is ridiculous, any difference would be made up in lifter preload. Anyway how much can a stock or stock production pushrod set vary in length? +/- .005?

For the time and money he spent, he could have bought a quality precision hollow pushrod at a custom length that suited his engine to a T.

Figures, Pontiac dude.
