AFR Push Rods

What length push rods should I use? I purchased the 165cc stud mount and FMS 1.6 roller rockers.

Why not call AFR and find out.

they really cant tell you because of variables like head gasket thickness... if the heads are milled, block decked etc...they SHOULD work, but it doesnt hurt to check..
BTW, if you stick new lifters in, soak them in oil over night so they are full when you go to adjust the valves or check the length.. that way they dont compress to quickly

Better yet, pump them in a can of oil until there are no more air bubbles coming out.

Take care,
