pushrod's to long now? wtf!

The pushrod seat in the lifter is higher than the original lifters you had in there. You will have to measure for the right ones. You might get lucky and find some off the shelf ones that will work, otherwise its custom pushrods or change the lifters to the one that have the deep seat in them like the 821's from comp. If it were me, I would keep the direct lube lifters and get the right pushrods.
