so you cant use stock roller lifters to check it? what kind of solid lifter would i get to check it with?

 

im assuming you have hydraulic lifters. if you have solid roller lifters then your ok otherwise you will need to find one. the place i got the lifters and pushrods from sent one with my set so i could measure them before sending the pushrods. then i sent it back. mine came out to 7.1 so lloyds generic recommendation was right on with my setup.
