Time for 'Dimer to chime in again!
Okay, folks! Here's the $1M question: When using aftermarket rockers of a higher than stock ratio in the LN2 / OHV 2.2L, what is the most suitable length to have the pushrod be to obtain proper geometry? With stock springs? Anyone?
Go beyond the "bolt-on".
Did a search, found: 3/8 x 7.400-7.650" w/ .080" wall. So, "Nevermind!". Though I would like some clarity, so how 'bout it guys?
Go beyond the "bolt-on".
the length of the pushrod should not change simply because you changed rockers... only head/deck milling, and grinding the cam would effect that

Also, remember that everything in your motor has tolerences. If you want the most suitable pushrod, you need to measure.

Yes, but is the ideal geometry to have & how do I check for it? And just for reference, I'm talking 1.6 rockers.

Thanks for the link, Notec! I'll print out what I see and follow it.
