Default Rockers and pushrod lengths

Whats been everyones experience when changing from bolt on gen v style rockers to stud mount regarding push rod lengths. Is the stock length ok or will I be ordering pushrods soon? I'll be checking either way, just trying to estimate my budget. Thanks.

Done it twice, no problems. After running check the tracks the rocker leaves on the valve tip. Should be in the center. Marking the valve tip up with a black sharpie will make it easier to see. Your mileage may vary...

When I replaced my roller rockers after running them for 10 years I had to get different pushrods. Engine builder was suprised we had to change pushrods.. So answer to question is plan in it. That way when you do not have to you will have more money for gas.

I ran into the same thing. I used the crane rr and had to change lengths.Of course this was on a wed. afternoon trying to get ready for the weekend........You know how that is,The freaki' S&H was as much as the pushrods. They were also some crazy length that only one place had in stock.
