Last piece of the puzzle is ordering pushrods. I have the CC pushrod checker tool. I went with LS7 lifters and made one temporarily solid with washers. The heads and deck have been milled/refinished (I'm not 100% sure but i think together around 0.015-0.020") and I went with a 0.039 gasket so I think I should need slightly shorter pushrods. Just want to verify if I did this correctly.

Setting the rocker at zero lash and rotating yielded these results..

Stock length pushrod:

Adj pushrod set to 7.100":

Adj pushrod set to 7.050":

How much should you add to account for preload? The rockers are mounted on ARP 7/16" studs.

Hopefully I did this right ?
