[Fot] Push Rod Length

[Joe Alexander]

FOT

What is the current conventions on pushrods and length changes?

For 15 or so years we ran with shims under the rocker arm pedestals.

Jack Drews got us a couple sets of shortened push rods, which we have used
since.

Now I am wondering if there is some formula that is used.

Perhaps 1:1 shortening of the pushrods with  milling of the heads?

Presently, I am presuming that there is a fair amount of tolerance in the
length selection.

I am unaware of any real in depth discussion on this....so perhaps it is due.

Thanks....
