225 Push rod length.

Thats .125, If you want to preserve the 'geometry' of the adjusters and the thread stickout, you can actually cut these down. You chuck them in a lathe and cut the last 1/8" of the thinwall tubing at the round end. You can tell when the thinwall is cut as it will change color to brown right before its through, then you just tap the round tips back up into the shorter tube. The tips are hardened, the tube is not. I cut down 16 225 pushrods for a 273 I built.

Last year we talked about this...hoping that my push rods would be ok...well the are too long and best I can tell, as much as 3/16th or more. The cupped end is actually touching the barrel of the adjuster. (Ball nut backed out almost all the way.) you say that you cut the tube at the ball end? My push rods appear to have the ball end spot welded? If you cut through the tube wall, how about the piece that will still be on the ball insert?
