Pushrod Length Checker Guide 

Use the guide below as a basis when choosing a pushrod length checker. The lengths listed below are 
considered "stock". You should choose a checker that has adjustability in both directions. Example, if your 
pushrod measures 7.794", you would pick a checker that measures 7.500" to 8.700". It is also important to 
select the proper pushrod end configuration.
