Pushrod length in stroker

I hear ya, when you put it that way it's hard to argue...I just wondered if 5 100th's would make a diff....thx though

Put it this way, 5 100ths of an inch shorter than recommended is safer than that same amount too long when it comes to valve clearances.
My personal opinion is that it probably won't make a difference at all to use the .05 shorter pushrods.
But if I was breaking in a new cam I would do exactly as recommended.

Hope you didn't put stiffer springs in it also, because there is sometimes a problem where the rod ends up pushing through a stock rocker.
