Got the head on and checking for pushrods...

Put the ol' adjustable pushrod in there with #1 at TDC...

Pushrod starts at 8.800, twisted it up until it just barely stops on the torqued rocker arm...counted 13.5 turns...

Since 1 turn=.050 that ends up being .675+8.800=9.475...

So...with .040 to .060 for preload should I order 9.515-9.935 pushrods?

Just checking with the experts that be...and those that have learned from thier mistakes...Thanks in advance!!

Sounds about right, assuming the 9.935" was suppose to be 9.535". I would also check a few of the rockers as well, not just one.
