Do new Rockers = New pushrods

If I install 1.6 RR do I need to replace the pushrods? If so what length?

i would replace the pushrods (of course get hardened pushrods), yes, and also get hardened guideplates, but i would get a pushrod length checking tool from summit and see what length you need...

AH HA! makes sense now... i was assuming that the OP was going to get something like the compcam pro-mag 1.6 RR's. or anything like that... that's the only reason why i said get guideplates...
