What length pushrods would I need with a 212/218 TSP Cam with .522/.529 on a 112LSA?

Going to be using the blue ls6 springs with stock heads.

Thanks

 

7.4" unless tsp says it's on a smaller base circle

 

Get a pushrod length checker tool. That way you can set the preload to what you want, and make sure everything is 100% correct.

 

Thanks, Dirt Track.

Beeble,

I had checked out those length checker tools, but I was hoping to only have the truck apart for a day. But if it's the right way to do it then I may have to deal with having the truck down for a week.

Is there a certain preload amount that is considered optimal?

 

If you can swing it buy a few sets at different lengths and just return what you don't use.

I'm running at .075" preload w/LS7 lifters, I think the recommended range is something like .050"-.080"? More preload tends to be on the quieter side (no sewing machine) from what I've read (mine is pretty quiet too).
