I seem to remember two different pushrod lengths....

Measure yours first.... Make sure the ones you get aren't bent, run them over a work top or sheet of glass.
As an aside, we (at codered motorsport) will use ford ones on the next engine jobs, need a little relief in the pushrod holes.
thanks for your help and advise mate, there set up now but i have some spare rods will measure them n lookin to it. cheers.
put the nut under the tappet, instead of keeping it ontop. - tighten it up under the tappet....
might just give that a go mate cheers! this club is well worth the money u guys know everything lol
they know some things but not everything.might just give that a go mate cheers! this club is well worth the money u guys know everything lol
Sounds like your cam was ground on a old worn cam thats why the pushrods sit so low.
As sparkie says thats a quick easy way to fix it, i have seen some pushrods that are slightly longer but think its just pot louck where they come from think there not from any specific age engine
gordini push rods are longer i think but not 100 percent on that
two different lengths depending on inlet or exhaust with the gordini ones. but as they are pretty fecking rare now you'd have a job in getting some.
