I believe the stock length is 6.272 inches. I've probably got a bunch laying around if you need them..

Or you could just get some shims for the pedastal mount rockers. Craig (Cincy Speed) usually keeps them in stock.

Yes, you are correct, if you shim the pedestals then you would need an even longer pushrod. It sounds like a stock length pushrod would get you pretty close...

Your valvetrain shouldn't be affected by.010" differance. Have you tried putting it together and seeing how it runs.

yes i had these roller rockers installed last year. it has been very noisy since. i have added a few other boltons and it just has gotten worce, so i pulled the valve covers to check. when i pulled them i found that the place that installed them left .010. so i called crane and they told me that these roller rockers require 0 lash and they said that is my problem. i should not here them over my exhaust and radio for that matter.
