Hi all, thanks for having a look at my thread!

@ rspears and 36sedan: I have looked on youtube to find how to use the checker springs you mention, but I couldn't find any. I am not aware on how these work and how it can help me to deterrmine the right pushrod size. Could you please explain?

@ 34_40: I know that when the valvetrain geometry is off, if will wear out the valve guides more quickly, resulting in extra oil consumption, which I like to avoid. If there is no way to accurately measure the needed pushrod size, would there be a good practice on how to do it?
