PUSHRODS

[blondie70]

I'm preparing the list of parts to order to do the DOD delete on my Tahoe. Getting the parts from Summit. They are telling me that I need to measure for the correct pushrods before ordering.
I have no idea or way to do this and will talk to the guys that are going to do the work.
I have not read anything on the Forum about this. Just wanted to pass it along...
Also on the valley cover, I think I want the one that uses the nail in plugs instead of the 0 ring cover. Is one better than the other ?
Thank you.
PS: up to about $1700 on parts so far !

Post #38 is what I did to check mine: https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/tty-head-bolts-with-engine-in-vehicle.147231/page-4

I just reused mine since the length was still correct in my application. You really can't measure them until the cam/heads are installed.

Thanks for the info....are all the pushrods the same length on a DOD engine? I was thinking half of 'em were shorter ????? Thanks Strutaeng.

Mine ended up being 7.400" also, the same as stock, with all 3 of the cams I tried before settling on the Cam Motion Stage 2 Truck Cam that I have now. I went with BTR chromoly rods. Also, the pushrods are all the same stock length on the AFM and non-AFM cylinders in a stock engine.

To measure rod length though, several companies make an adjustable pushrod length checker. There are a some good videos on YouTube for how to use it.
