Still having a problem with pushrod length


Im building a fully forged 347. Now its time to check pushrods length. Im using cobra 1.72 rockers.

I converted a hydraullic roller lifter into a solid roller lifter. Now when I measure, how tight should the rocker be on the stud?




And just to get an idea, if you have procomp heads and hydraulic roller lifters in your 5.0......what length did you get?

Tighten nut just enough to get rid of all the slack or zero lash, when the cam is on the base circle for the lobe you are checking.
