Thread: Determining pushrod length?

Tweet

ok i got of the exhaust valve spring for the number 2 cylinder and put on the very light springs I bought from jegs for $7. For some reason I cant get off the other springs. Can I use this valve to measure? Also when the intake valve for this cylinder is opening will I be on the base circle of the cam for the exhaust valve? Am I adding to the overall length of the new measurement for the lifter lash?
