So I have a question on pushrod length. I'm not so sure that my lack of vacuum isn't due to my adjustable valve train. My adjusters are basically backed out all the way and I'm wondering if this isn't the reason my vac readings are so low and why my garage floor has a thick layer of soot.
I have shaft mounted 1.65 rockers. A C9 head that hase been milled 0.070", and a NOS head gasket with a 0.035" crush thickness.
I don't have a good way to accurately measure the length of the rods that I have. I got them from Will in between CI to VI transition. With a tape measure (what I had) they look to be 8 1/8" long tip to tip. I realize this isn't a proper measurement of a ball/cup rod, but I do with what I have.
I used an adjustable pushrod with the adjuster roughly centered and wound up with something that measured 8 1/16". Matt is on vacation till the 10th, so I've got time to order, but he has the 8.030" ball/cup pushrods.
My question is, given the above information, does my measurement of 8 1/16" make sense? In the meantime, I'll try to find a more better way to measure than with some clunky tape...
