Hey guys I just measured for length pushrods I need. Theyre gonna need to be 7.125" long. I cant find any on summit or from comp that are that length so am I gonna need to get them from Manton or will comp custom make a set for me?

Comp Cams can make a set for you with a 2 day turn around ... and very competitively priced !

you will be fine with a 7.150, it is better to round up then down. if you dont wanna go that route like said above you can get a custom set built.

Nah I measured them yesterday and im more comfortable with where the 7.125s sit and roll on the valve stem then the 7.150s. Im gonna give comp a call in the morning tomorrow. Stock diameter is 5/16" correct?

im not saying you measured wrong, im saying you will be fine with a 7.150 which are commanly manufactured. but of course a custom exact length would be better.

I got ya man. Me and my dad have been talking it over and we've settled on the 7.150s just because like you said it is better to round up then down. Do you know a comp pn for a 7.150 for a hydraulic roller? I didnt see any on their site. I may have just missed it.

Yes, I agree. 7.150"s are the ones you should buy. And, yes they're 5/16" diameter. TrickFlow probably has them too; SummitRacing, JEGS, etc.

I'd buy Trickflow. Comp is overpriced.

I noticed the same thing. I wonder if they're REALLY worth the higher cost.
