I am getting Brodix IK180 heads, and 1.5 roller rockers, what length of push rods should i use? I have been told to just use the stock length, what is that? thanks,
Steve

Start with the stock length and use a cheap plastic pushrod length checker to verify that it is correct, or check the rocker to valve stem tip contact pattern with a little grease.

You are going to have to measure to get the best length push rod.
