| 390 FE .060" short pushrod needed |
| By Chris Rinehart - 05/15/2003 11:52:43 AM; IP 128.61.141.155 |
I just installed a new cam and lifters in my '69 390 (which is in my '65 F250). I have non-adjustable rocker arms, and the cam is hydraulic. One cylinder is dead via compression gauge- exhaust valve is staying slightly open. I checked the rocker arm clearance, it is tight- I need a shorter pushrod. Either the cam lobe or lifter is a touch tall. But to make this easy I'd rather just get a shorter pushrod. I've read that Ford sold 0.060" shorter and longer pushrods for such occassions. Does anyone know if Ford or anyone else currently offers these pushrods? I believe my stock length is 9.59", but may be 9.62" (both are standard lengths on FEs)- damn hard to tell w/ a ruler. If you happen to have these shorter pushrods on hand, please let me know. I just need one. thanks,
Chris |
