Pushrod length help

Yeah problem is that I dont have any cup ended pushrods to test with, but thank you for clearing up that side of the measurement for me. I can get a pretty reasonable measurement from the ball to ball style tool pressing it up against the rocker, but definitely feels it'll be off a bit.

On cup type pushrods you can use one of two measurements.

One is overall length and the other is effective length.

When you use a cup style adjustable pushrod you are measuring for overall length.

Doing what you are doing is measuring effective length.

Just make sure you tell the pushrod manufacturer which measurements you are using.
