Now that the rockers are done it's on to the push rods. Pretty basic really. Use an adjustable push rod to find your ideal push rod length and then measure it. Then do it again. Why? The red mark on that cut push rod is why you measure twice and cut once. If I cut on the red mark I would have needed a new set of push rods and do it al over again. You can use a hack saw, dremel, band saw to cut them just make sure you de-burr them before you put the tips in. The best way to get the tips on is to use a pair of old lifters, one on each end, and hammer the tip in like that.



When you put a motor together check and wash every part thoroughly even the fancy shmancy billet parts. These push rod tubes are brand new and they still had metal shavings and cutting lube in them.







Looking good!
