All of the major cam makers offer pushrods in various sizes.

You can make a pushrod length checker from an old pushrod or you can buy them from the cam manufacturers. After you know the length you need you can order them. If you use an old pushrod don't forget to add in some length for the flat spot on the end of the pushrod left by the oil passage. The cam companies have discussions on this also.

On a non adjustable valvetrain cant you just take the extra lift that milling/surfacing brings to the table by taking material off of the valve stems?
