lifter specific push rods?

[cwhubb]

can you reinstall push rods in any push rod bore or are they supposed to be put back in the same one they came out of?

 

[62MAX]

They will go anywhere.

 

[cwhubb]

good, thank you

 

[Meep-Meep]

you can install them in random order as long as someone didn't alter the lengths to compensate for uneven valve stem heights from a poor valve job.

Like Meep says, It probably doesn't matter, but I like to keep them in the order they were removed until I can check to make sure they are all equal length. I like to put them back in the same bore they came from but that's just me.

 

[cwhubb]

thats a good tip about the lengths, I never would of thought to look for it regarding valve geometry, that would have been a mess figuring out

Are these stock push rods and how many miles are on them? PR's and rockers are a wear item too and with high performance using high spring pressures, it's even more important to check them for wear.

these are stock , I dont know how many miles they have on them, the engine was rebuilt and has 8,000 miles on it but I dont know if he reused the old ones the springs are stock specs and the cam is cranes old school version of a 509, the venerable fire ball, same duration but 484 lift
