    Trying to double check that the correct length pushrods came with my engine. Anyone know how to find out the proper length? COMPLETELY new to this whole pushrod thing. My roommate was supposed to help, but he decided he loved his girlfriend or some crap...
    Thanks!

    It's something that's done when the engine is assembled. Didn't you buy a complete engine?
