Pushrod length with small base circle cam?

i just got my motor all together and went to adjust the rockers and my new joe O cam hit a rod bolt. so i called him and hes gonna order me a small base circle version. he also said i "might" need a longer pushrod. who else had needed a longer pushrod with there small base cam. i have 7.2" now. would a 7.3 work? i really dont wnat to wait to order i think 7.3 would be close enough what do youall think?

thanks

Re: Pushrod length with small base circle cam?

Noone can answer that question. You have to measure for it. Use this page as a guide for measurement. http://www.compcams.com/Technical/Cu...ML/306-307.asp

The tool you need is here. http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...99&prmenbr=361

Pay real close attention to finding the point on the valve of base circle and full lift as the first link explains.
