225 Push rod length.
Will do this evening when I get home home and set it up again. I don't know if you remember my cam card. BTW...according to my dial indicator...I did achieve + or - a few degrees the lobe lift indicated on the card. .357

Right. The point I was making is that the rockers are not accurate at all. Several people, including yours truly, have tested and verified that they are mostly not 1.5. More like down in the 1.4s. So the only way to get a true measurement of lift will be at the valve sprAng retainer with zero lash.
See.....here's the thing. ....and this is why I think you're ok with the pushrods.....and people always somehow forget this. ...and this is also why I think I ended up ok.
When you regrind a camshaft, what did you just do to the base circle? Made it smaller. Normally what would that require of the pushrod? To be 100% correct, it would need to be lengthened. Of course the slant 6 has a lot of leeway there.
Ok, conversely, when you mill the head, what do you need now? Since the head and rocker gear is getting closer to the camshaft, shorter pushrods.
A camshaft regrind plus a head mill need opposite direction for pushrods for correction, so they cancel each other out some.
That's my story and I'm stickin to it. LOL
