460 push rod length
I had to do a valve job on my 1990 f350 460,(took heads to machine shop) does this usually affect valve clearance if they do the heads right? my truck has hyd. lifters- no adjustment - have to replace push rods. ive never done a non adjustable vehicle before thank for your help.

If you dont take more than .01 off I wouldnt worry about it, I would however check the valve clearance with a bleed down tool, It should be between .1 and .2 of an inch on the valve side
