Heads were milled once before i got them, once by lloyd, and just resurfaced another .005 b/c of blow headgaskets. I just used the pushrod checker and it seems the wear patter is most centered when its at 7.100". Also the block is 0 decked, this sound about right for the length?

 

If you are getting a good wear pattern at 7.1 then thats what you need. If you have removed some material from the heads and zero decked the block I can see 7.1" pushrods being needed.

 

That sounds about right... I just checked a setup with some Morel's and it was 7.000" with a solid checking lifter.

Are Morels shorter?

Also When people use a smaller base circle cam how much is is usually shorter there?

 

Mine and a friend's came out to 7.100 with milled heads and a decked block.

K thx guys, i ordered some 7.1's. The 7.2's i had in there destroyed my valve guides, atleast thats what i think destroyed them, so hopefully this will solve the problem.

 

Nick , is that one post for you and one for your friend....lol (just having fun with ya).

 

Morels seem to need about .100" longer pushrod.

 

Yea mine came out to 7.000" with that solid checkin lifter, my heads have been decked

 

oops, i guess i clicked a few too many times. lol
