Hello, so today i installed my new heads that are ported and polished 862. My old ones were the 706 that were cracked. I also installed some pac1218 springs with felpro headgasket. I also put in a texas speed stage 2 truck cam 212-218 .600 112lsa. Ive measured my pushrod length both exhaust and intake and i get 13 turns with the pushrod checker which starts at 6.8 plus 13 turns at .050 each turn puts me at 7.45 before preload and after .050 preload it puts me around 7.5. Does that seem good? Ive tried it both hand tight and torqued down to 22ftlb and it stays the same. I installed the old pushrods and they are waaay to loose. So they arent the stock length thats forsure. Truck is a 04 silverado 5.3

if that's what the pushrod tool says, go with it. I always try to run close to .060 on oem lifters but anythinng between .050-.080 should be fine. Some people run as much as .1
