Pushrod length check tool for highports
I'm at the point of installing my highport heads and checking pushrod length, block is a 400 (461)zero decked and I'm using 1.65 rockers. Any idea what length adjustable pushrod tool I would order to get me in the ballpark?

If I get a tool that adjusts between 9.5 and 10.5 I should be ok?

10.3 were to short for me, had to go 10.4. also had to run lash caps to help keep rockers off edge of spring retainers and had to clearance the underside. the tool up to 10.5 should be good. I have the set 0f 10.3 if you need them. they are 3/8" Trend .080 wall

I think pushrod check springs must be used with this tool, I would not try it with inner springs only. At 10.25" you get a decent amount of thread engagement. |

I have the Manton kit, should give you full coverage and it comes with checker springs. They are great to deal with too.
