Camshafts and Compression

Anyhow, I’ll try and break up the saltiness a bit! :)

Found another tool I forgot I had, pushrod length checker! I set it for 7.500’’ then to 7.650’’. To me, the longer setting looks better, however I can get a 7.500’’ without going to a custom made rod.

I could get away with the 7.500’’, about 3-4 threads showing. 7.650’’ may be better but 2.5 times the price for rods. What do you guys think??

I don’t think the 7.5 looks that bad but not easy to tell from the pic how much room there is through the sweep on both of them. Longer one looks like the cup could be close to touching on the shaft side?
