Fel-Pro 1008 race head gasket pushrod impact?
So I’m replacing the head gaskets in my 340 as I need to remove one of the heads anyway to get a broken exhaust stud out.

Drill exhaust manifold bolt - Remove head or not?
I’ve got the Fel-Pro 8553s now that I believe has a compressed thickness of around 0.050”. Would moving to the 1008s with a 0.039” thickness have a material impact on my pushrod length or do you think the 0.011” difference would be absorbed by the lifters and lash? I’ve got the standard hydraulic lifters and non adjustable valve train.
