Push rod ordering

New heads and lifters, pushrod checker will be here tomorrow. I assume with these Johnson lifters it will be more than one size I will need.

who do I order a custom set from?

They say hey measure each time you implement a custom setup, but I'd be surprised if vendors TSP or BTR don't know typical lengths...

EDIT
Never mind you already have checker handled, however vendors are good

You have a little leeway with pushrod length. Measure the 4 corners and compare the numbers.

Did already mention pushrod checker on the way, don't believe this is a variable with hydraulic lifters, OP could you clarify

Sorry I don't know the setup well, however, the vendor that you went too will know what too do with your pushrods, I can't imagine they wouldn't spec all the same, but I have no idea

Best way to determine push rod length needed is to measure using a pushrod length checker. I use the checker and then verify with a 2nd method such as counting the # of turns of the torque wrench it takes when torqueing the rocker arms.
