Post your pushrod length.

[5spd GT]

Okay, here is what I want to know

- Stock or Decked Block
- Heads Used (Please note if milled or shaved)
- Headgasket compressed thickness
- Cam Used (If custom, just give basic specs - lift/duration)
- Roller Rockers (1.6, 1.7, or 1.72)
- Pushrod Length (Give me the length with your combo).
- Does it ride in the center of the valve?
- Have you had any problems?

I'll start:

AFR 165's (not milled)
FTI Cam (.560/.556 - 224/224)
.039"
1.6
6.250" Pushrod Length
Yes
No, going on over 30,000 miles.

If you know the installed height of your springs, if aftermarket, let me know as well

302 or 351 It doesn't matter...

I'm wanting to get a general synopsis of what lengths typically go with what combination. However, measuring is best, but let's see what you guys are running

List if your engine block has been machined (decked/shaved) please.

Thanks!

- Stock Block.
- E7's with 1.96/1.60 valves, milled .0010" (I think).
- Steeda 19 cam.
- Stock Rockers.
- Stock Length push rods (Ford Racing).
- Yes?.
- Put 200 miles on it, I have some white smoke. Don't know if it's lean or leaking
something. Also think I have a pinging issue .

-Stock rockers but do plan on going with a roller 1.6 sometime
-6.150
-center with a short travel patt.

Stock (Explorer) shortblock, TFS Twisted Wedge heads, TFS 1.6 Roller rockers, TFS stage 1 cam, Fel-Pro 1011-2 head gaskets, 6.750" pushrods. Used a modified hydraulic roller lifter and an adjustable pushrod to come up with that length.

Grady, that sounds familiar That is what Ed sent me with my combo...

Thanks for the pic, looks good!

Thanks to everyone.

I want to say real quick, we all should realize that measuring is the best method for best valvetrain geometry and longevity, but many combinations can benefit from the same length pushrod.

So I am not trying to imply that 'not measuring' is what should be done, but I am just trying to get a ballpark figure for some to start from.

I know the TFS and Holley kits come with pushrods that 100's have had no problem with, and they did not measure.

It is just for my own personal info, so thanks for helping
