Pushrod recommendation
 

Changing out pushrods to ensure I don't have any adjusters out of spec on my rockers. Looks like I need about 0.0625 extra length on all of them to be in the middle of the spec.

Lunati?
Manley?
Crane?
Comp?

Just browsing summit it looks like the Lunati have sizes that match up well with lengths I need....

Had crane in it...... 95813 (9.600") and 95828 (8.850")

Don't hear about many pushrod failures so maybe I'm over thinking it. Just order the best sizes and move on....?

I would suggest Trend Performance, they will make them any size you need, if they don't have them in stock.

They are who I use for all my Push Rods. They are in Michigan.
They developed the Spintron years ago so they could monitor and test their products for Nascar Racing,

Manton and Smith Bros also

Aboners beat me to it , I also use Trend , they can make em in any length. had custom set made , came showed up 2 weeks later .
.135 is what I got

Thanks gents. Idea on cost form Trend? PM if you want....

After my steel rocker upgrade I'm eating pb&j.....

Depends on what wall thickness, material, but the prices are competitive with most everybody
.
I'm running Jessel lifters and rockers and had 41 custom tapered 1.65 rods with varying lengths 11.950- 12.400 specific to each valve, with a few extra to have, expedited to me two days after i called. Excellent Customer Service. (there was a 20% up charge for the quick build time and shipping. but stock size "stout"rods shouldn't cost any more then what you get from a warehouse store. Call them tomorrow and ask!

I will definitely call them tomorrow. Thanks!

another vote for trend...they make comp cams hi-tech line of push rods. Single piece, no seams, with nice contouring on the ends.

My current pushrods are .80. Any reason to go to .135?

Yes, they are solid roller with higher spring pressure, but I never spin them over 4,000.

.135 are twice as much $600 vs $300. I know it's not a big deal long term, but damn I just spend 2400 of new rockers, about to order my Daytona Sensors CDI ignition so the winter fund is depleted.....!!

Probably 250 lb seat and up

why not more rpm? id rather wind them up than bog them down 6000-6500 is pretty easy with no rocket science involved

I cant believe you posted that..............:lolhit:

They made peak HP In the upper 6,000 RPM's, my boating style is just such that we cruise all the time and I almost never wind them up.....

It's no secret on this website that I'm a grandma boater and better suited to a Bayliner, but you have to run what you have.......

.80!? Are you running a 200hp small block? :whistle:
You have solid roller,and decent spring pressures , I wouldn`t be using some straw sized pushrods.
Put your big boy pants on and let`s get with going here .. and please don`t tell anyone else you don`t go past 4000 rpm. :angry-smiley-038:

I hate this website. The peer pressure can get the best of you.

Ordered the .135's......

now you can sleep at night..just with less money

I hear you. Just makes you think - just spent 700 bucks to have some rods that are 25 thousandths of an inch longer. What a terrible hobby.....

We`re all in the same boat thou
