im rebuilding my engine im about to pick up some new pushrods and i noticed at thunder racing they say "OEM factory roller length" i figured that would do but im installing the hotcam kit just wondering if that would still work? and if hardened would be strong enough?

 

anyone?

 

Factory pushrods are 7.2"

Hardened is plenty strong enough for 99.5% of the applications out there

 

and the factory length will work fine with the hotcam kit?

 

yes

 

Are we so sure?

CrAkd,
When you say "rebuild", does that mean block-decking and milling of the heads? Very possible that the stock length is no longer what you need in that case. Always check to be sure (you'll need an adjustable pushrod). Check Comp Cams website for info on the process.

Unless everything is stock, it should be measured.

im not really sure what the engine rebuilder does when he rebuilds it, i know he doesnt port an polish the heads hes basicly gonna do it back to stock other then what i give him. (hotcam, comp R lifters timing chain)
