How to put together cut to length pushrods
I'm just going to go ahead and say that you either need the comp cutter tool, or at least a reamer size same as in the chart below.........
"A clue" is given to you right in the Comp Cams listing:
"When the cut is finished it leaves a .002--.003" press fit.........."
See page 20

You are going to pay 30--40 dollars for just about any precision reamer, at least, so the cost of that tool doesn't seem very "outlandish" to me, considering it's basically TWO separate tools Jegs shows about 80 bucks
On the other hand, you could use a no 22 drill which is .157. You'd have to face the end of the thing either in some sort of home made jig (drill press) or rustle up a friend with a lathe
