push rods

I need some advice on a push rod length checker. I am using a retro fit roller cam, roller lifters and roller rocker arms. I would like to know if there is a prefered choice amoungst the FTE clan and what length of checker do I get for 400? John

Hey, do you know any-one with access to a small lathe and taps? you could get a close measurement and cut and shut an old one with some threads and nuts. wouldn't take long and if a friend did it for a couple of beers thats how it should work isn't it? I've thought of doing the exact same thing as it would cost me nothing, but I suppose it relates to what a new one is worth versus the hassle.
