Push rod lengths are different?
Hello doing a cam swap on my dads 06 Electra guide and I got a bit ahead of myself and pulled the stock push rods out and forgot to mark them. I did keep the 2 from the front and the 2 from the rear cyl. Separate. But as I was going over everything tonight I noticed the push rods are different lengths and not sure which ones go where. Any input would be appreciated... Thanks in advance.

Intake stock pushrod is silver and the exhaust side pushrod is black. Good luck with the install. I hope the base circle of the cams you are using is exactly the same height as the base circle of the stock cams. Adjustable push rods make life easier and allow for more adjustment...and a hell of a lot less install time.

X2. Did you mark your lifters for direction, and location. I would very strongly suggest doing a bit of reading before you go much further.
Exhaust are longer than intake. Please familiarize yourself with the pushrods install, and lifter bleed down before you go much further.

Not helpful at all. Were you bored and decided to be obnoxious and uniformly un-helpful? Good job, you're a master.
