besides a measuring tool, is there a way to tell how long of a pushrod you need?

my setup has .599/.599 lift and 59cc heads.
can you tell how long they need to be just from that?

 

you measure the base circle of the cam my friend.

stock PR = 7.400" compare new cam BC to stock cam BC, and go from there.... or if already installed, get a PR measuring tool (adjustable PR) for about $15

 

I think stock pushrods are 7.385" or am I mistaken??
can someone chime in and confirm or deny this?
but you will need to measure the base circle of the cam to figure out what rods you need, or call whoever is grinding it.

 

That is correct on stock length... If the cam is the same BC as stock you will need shorter then stock push rods.. Get you a tool

 

Thanks John appreciate it!
Why run smaller PR's if the aftermarket cam is the same BC? I used to know all of this crap but that was on SBC and I have forgotten most of it now

 

LMAO I forget **** i read yesterday... Lord give me strength

 

also need to take into account how much the heads are milled.

 

yea, it's gettin that way
