Engine builders.. inside

My block has been decked 10thous... Do I need different length pushrods, or will stock length be fine? GTP stage2 heads, Gm847 cam, 1.6nsa rr's, etc,etc...

thanks Jason

Once things in the valve train are changed, it's hard if not impossible to say what will happen with their length. The only sure way to know is to check the travel of the rocker arm across the top of the valve stem. Use this page as a guide.

I recommend you use the stock rod to do the first check and determine if you need shorter or longer. Then purchase the correct length checker from this list.

From there the checker will help you determine the correct length rod to purchase.
