TWO EASY METHODS FOR MEASURING LS PUSHROD LENGTH!! - TURBO 5.3 LS pt 9

[@RipThatVette]

Big thanks for taking the time to clearly explain this process. The other videos I’ve watched have been confusing.

[@e.s.l5861]

This is the best tutorial I have found for this procedure

[@themildgoose]

Extremely informational on this, I did my first cam on a gen 4 6.0L and the pushrods were doing my head in with the ticking and not knowing the base circle had changed. Big thank you from a dumb ass trying to get his engine right, and extra points on background tracks!

[@julz5915]

Hopefully I can figure this out now

[@alexanderknight7793]

Great video, I like that you described it clearly in both methods.

[@GODSPEEDGarage]

Thank you!

About to build my LS swap and appreciate the video!

[@fladrummer1]

Thanks for the info building a 6O in a C5 Texas Speed heads has been a nightmare 7.4 push rods but dont think the mechanic did the math or put the pushrods on the small lobe of the cam going to a performance shop today......

Great stuff Brother!!!! Thanks!!!

[@Weinhoffercustoms]

I always torque the Fastner to spec then check for zero lash

[@brianhaw9398]

Thanks,some good info.

I'm doing a head gasket job on an 07 Yukon Denali 6.2l. I got the heads on and now I'm doing the Rocker arms. I noticed when I'm torquing the arms some of the rockers slide from the center of the valve stem and moves closer to the edge of the spring. My valve springs are slightly compressed also when I finish torquing to 22 ft lbs. Can you tell me what can be the problem? I'm stumped

Really helpful video 👌

[@GODSPEEDGarage]

Glad it was helpful!

1st time measuring pushrod length here, but I have a question see if anyone could give me advice, I basically did everything like he did on the video even the math but with my measurements, so my intake is 7.2875 rounded it to 7.300 and my exhaust is 7.325, should I buy all the pushrods 7.325 or should I buy half and half?

[@chazdunaway8240]

did you add pre load to you length or did i miss it?

[@Recklessfireblade]

Yes you add it to whatever preload you need. Most lifters such as Johnson lifters will have a specific preload on the box. GM lifters have a much broader range and are more forgiving

[@GODSPEEDGarage]

yes. for the first method you have to add it. the second method (the turn method) accounts for the pre-load. I second what @Brandon Ouzts said - GM lifters have a really broad range. as long as you're in that range you're good. hope that helps!
