It's a Purolator. I don't even put Frams on my saturn. And I'll clean the engine bay once I fix the leak. There is simply too much on the to-do list to worry about my engine bay cleanliness.

Example: with 7.350 pushrods, if you have 150 thousands preload, you want to go with 7.275 or max of 7.300 length rods.
Depending on head milling and decking of block, head gasket thickness, you will need anywhere between
7.300 and 7.400. I have yet to build one that needed under 7.300.
most are 7.350-7.400.

I'll look into that. I've never messed with a dial indicator before, but after looking quickly, if they can't be rented, they aren't expensive at all. I found another method on a GH High Tech article using a pushrod length checker and caliper which I already have on order

Good idea. I'll do that.
