I mocked up a hydraulic lifter with some washers to make it solid to check for pushrod length. I am coming up with 6.800.
Now, I know that anywhere from 1/2 turn to 2 1/2 turns preload have been suggested through my research for the Magnum lifters.
My question is, whichever preload I choose, do I just add that much length to my 6.800?
Say I were to choose 2 turns preload (3/8 stud...... .042" per turn") I would shoot for a 6.900 pushrod?
1 turn would be 6.850 etc...
And just to avoid confusion with previous statements, I have 5/16x3/8 stud adapters to run 1.6 roller rockers so that's why my math is what it is.
Thanks and hope y'all have a great weekend!
