: Well my slant rebuild is coming along nicely.
: Today I degreed the dang thing and got the head
: put back together. I ready to bolt
: everything back together.
: I've milled a total of .100 off the deck and
: head
: so I could raise compression. Is there an easy
: to order pushrod for this setup, or do you
: have a neat quick and easy trick to measure
: the proper length I'll need...

: thanks,

: DI - Comp and a few others sell adjustable
: pushrods available at you local speedshop.
: But the easy way is to cut a push rod (take
: out a 1/4" section), tap it for a stud
: on both sections, install said stud and use
: a locknut. I would guess you need a shorter
: pushrod to match the amount of milling, but
: using the adjustable let's you verify the
: geometry is correct.

:
: That's what I have, a "home-made"
: adjusting pushrod. I have a couple of lock
: nuts on the one I have. I get everything
: set-up and use the "test pushrod"
: to find a good length. I lock it down and
: send it off to Smith Brothers and tell them
: to make 12-14 to the "sample
: length". ( I usually get a couple of
: extras - so make 14)
:
: A few days later I have a new set of
: "prefect length" pushrods and they
: return my test unit in the box.
