pushrod and 1.6 ped mount questions

[RFMustangGT]

ok, I just bought a set of 1.6 roller ped. mount rockers froma friend. I was wondering if i need a longer pushrod than stock and if I do how long. I looked in summit back in the mustang section and ford morsports has one for roller rockers. also I was wondering about the valve lash. I know you are susposed to stick a feeler gauge between the roller and the valve but I know what the thickness should be., sorry if this is something I could have searched and found but i looked for a while and couldn't find anything for ped mount. thanks guys!

Wait, did I miss something? You bought used pedestal mount 1.6 rockers? That's what came stock on the GT.

1.6 or 1.7 rollers DO NOT need difft. length pushrods.

well first of all, they are 1.7 i believe i messed up and told you 1.6 the other day, and yes longer pushrods were needed for my car, and i have stock heads, just like this guy.He bought them from me.

You don't need to use a feeler gauge to set roller rockers to set 0 lash. Just allow the lifters to bleed off and spin rods while turning the set screw until you feel some drag on the rods - 0 lash.

A local board says that these 1.7s might have clearence issues with the piston. I didn't think there would be any issues with these.

You won't have any clearence issues with the little bit of lift increase. I ran a .580 lift cam with stock pistons and afr's with no issues. As for the pushrod length, get a adj push rod length checker. I know from experience it is hit or miss when guessing lengths. You will also need a shim kit.
