I have bent pushrods... I was wondering if i put in 7.450 instead of the stock length 7.40, if that would be a problem or what would it do?

Thanks,
John

 

i really need to know also. the person who sold em to me said they would since they are only .05 off stock

 

seeing as the ls1/6 motors use a torque to specs rocker, it is a problem. the rockers are not adjustable. so everything has to be in exact places and lengths. they changed the rocker geometry by .050"/ so at max lift you may have hit coil bind and bent them that way. also being .050" longer may have hung the valves open by that much also. if the ls1/6 stock rockers were adjustable, you most likely would not have had the problem.

on a side note just had www.vicnihighperformance.com install their 1.89 accelerated lift adjustable rockers, guideplates, pushrods, springs, locks and retainers they want me to drive it for 50-100 miles before strapping it to the dyno to see the results.

 

You should never vary from stock length pushrods with a stock valve train. And if putting on milled heads, it would neccesitate shorter pushrods not longer.

 

mooleyz28 - glad to see the pushrods worked for you. where's my money? i know i only shipped you 15 of the 16 i had. accidents happen. and i know it's only $20 but where's my money?
