Three full turns with a 24 tpi pushrods puts you at .124" of preload on the lifter which should do it.. You can safely go 3 more flats. Which will put you at .145" preload. If that doesn't do it than you have another problem. I have seen where some after market pushrods Do not fit in the rocker all that well. The diameter of the ball on the end of the rocker is a little to small causing a poor fit and noise. My Revtech pushrods did that... Went to S&S standard adjustables and problem gone...

Hi guys,
Stupid question, but what happens when your pushrods are to short?
Did mine a while ago, counted the flats and did a fine job.
I take it when they are too long, you do damage to the valvetrain.
If they are to short, would they just 'bounce' up and down and make clattering noise too?
