aren't push rods measured from where the "ball point" ends? so if you measured tip to tip it could add some if that's true.
I'll try both ways, measure overall and count turns...see where we end up

You can L your AO. Comp didn't design their tool to be measured with calipers so I'm not sure why anyone would. The correct way to use the tool is to count the turns from its base position which comp built to be 6.800".
