5.9 stroker build

That's about where I was. Mike had recommended one full turn.

I used Smith Bros. They have an almost infinite inventory of off the shelf pushrods that will ship same-day if you order early enough in the morning.

Are your pushrods ball/cup? Mine are ball/ball.

OHHHH sorry... i just had to zoom in on a pic.. i assumed you were ball/cup :) yeah.. then end to end.. no biggy....

Did you check your side clearances on the rockers also? i set mine up .012-.015 per a user here that isn't around anymore but knew his ****... it's probably not that critical but better to make sure you aren't too tight before it's an issue
