[Tigers] Pushrod Length stock 260

[Mark Rense]

The standard pushrod is C2OZ6565B which is 6.804” in length. These are
available from Rock Auto, eBay or other common parts dealers, Melling makes
them as well (MPR-279).

However I NEVER assemble an engine without measuring for true pushrod
length. Unless you know everything about the engine internals I would
strongly suggest you check it using a variable length pushrod tool
