I run BTR stage 3 cam,Morel lifters and stock rockers bushed. 7.775 length pus rods. So anyone going to run these check lash as most likely not bolt on and go. Im sure i wont be the only one that runs into this. Either way from what i can tel its a solid set up. Ill be getting shorter push rods and get it going.
Thanks UNREAL for speeding this up.
This is completely backwards from what they advertise for this product. I wouldn't be interested in something like this then, especially after spending 300$ on tool steel custom pushrods. Why else would I be looking for a stock rocker arm geometry? This doesn't make sense. Did you measure the difference mayracn?

I agree with you here. Thats why i jumped on them right away. Someone might have a set up that they work with and im guessing factory it will. I think the idea is great and def a solid piece. Price is also golden. Im not running a 2k set up. maybe when i switch heads or engine i might. Just not now. I didnt get crazy accurate but my guess is ill need .025-.050 shorter push rods. Maybe even .075 shorter. They are being awesome about. Been a bit since ive ran into a problem and felt good about it.

Unreal got me into contact with engineering and we have been communicating on the issue. I may a freak deal here as no one else has reported any problem.

I'm having someone from comp call him and figure this out. Sounds like he got a sales person or someone not familiar with the product.
Guessing ill need 7.700-7-.750 length. Getting a few sets to test out.

This is an even bigger source of concern...

Ill just say its def gonna be possible to need new push rods. Was my impression stock rocker in stock location so would not need new push rods. I was wrong.
Also so many different combos. Decked heads to lifters choices. Just between those could be .060 difference.

I wouldn't be surprised if pushrods needed some tweaking if you are using a lifter with a tight window. Prob "ok" on something like an LS7 lifter

But why does that matter when it worked fine with his original bushed OEM rockers? The bottom line is you shouldn't need new pushrods with the same rocker at the same pivot height. Why do people keep forgetting this?

Default Pushrods

That's why I said double check to make sure you didn't get ls3 version in an ls7 box. Check the rockers compared to your stockers.

I decided to return this kit. I have bought other products that are new to the market and more times then not there are issues, so I decided that it wasn't worth my time or effort.

I follow the amazing Billy Godbold on FB as well.......... he's the guru there at Comp and is the man when it comes down to valve train dynamics. He shares so much info about the products, testing, and engineering, If you're on FB, you can follow the thread where Nick inquired about your issues

Has anyone ever gone through an checked every valve for push rod length? I am curious what the range is. It would be easy if you could buy or rent 8 push rod checkers an do one side at a time.
