Howdy,
I am putting the last little bits on my 4.1 together and unless there is something amiss my measurements say I need 8.100" pushrods. I have the following:
Champion CNC Irons, Comp 853 roller lifters, T&D 1.65:1 roller rockers, Fel-Pro 1000 head gaskets, and a block that was just surfaced to flat (didn't even remove the water marks from the old heads).
The TA length checking pushrod I got was too long so I took an old stocker, sliced an inch out of the middle and threaded it with all thread and jam nuts. I then put the lifter in, set it on base circle and droped the pushrod then bolted down the rockers. I adjusted the pushrod till it was hanging when I tried to spin it by hand then tightened the jam nuts and took it to work and used a machinists scale to measure it.... 8.100".
Anything sound off?
