How to put together cut to length pushrods

Thanks for explaining this. I have some scrap pushrods maybe I should practice this process and see how it turns out.

Yup, practice a bit. It's not hard, use the lathe. Use a back stop. Cut the pushrods .010-.015 long and trim them in the lathe with a dial indicator.

It's not hard. I just usually buy the right length so I don't have to screw with it. I have shortened a bunch of them though.
