Default Pushrod length

Has anybody got a copy of that picture that shows where the pushrods go by length?

I think that's going to depend on your individual bike, not a "they're all like this."

If I was asking for the exact length you are right.
What I needed was the placement from longest to shortest pushrod.

Someone has me helping them rebuild a motor that someone else took apart and while it has adjustable pushrods they are still locked into the needed length.
Not sure what brand they are so I'm just gonna put them in according to length.

My Oem rods were not color coded like book said, they should be original so I was told.
Maybe it wore off???

That would be my guess.

Why not just re adjust the pushrods?

You can easily measure the thread pitch.

Why???
They are already the correct length for the motor I just had to figure out where they went.

Unless you measure them, you don`t know they are the correct length...

I don't need to measure them.
All I have to do is put the longest one in the front exhaust position then the next to longest in the rear exhaust position then the next shortest in the front intake and finally the shortest in the rear intake.

Easy peasy.

The motor has the same cam, lifters, rockers, and I have stock gaskets for the motor so what could have changed?
