Measuring for custom pushrods
Good deal. I just finished up checking some new rocker arms on an engine and measuring for pushrods. I do it often enough that it is just a 5 minute drill. I adjust the rocker arm so the minimum number of threads are showing then install an adjustable pushrod that appears to be close to what I need. Torque down the rocker shaft, adjust it to zero lash and then rotate the engine over a few times to check for clearance issues. I always measure the lift so I can confirm the rocker arm ratio and then double check valve to piston clearance while I'm in there.
