intake pushrod question

[stockgp]

i bought all new pushrods, guide plates and lifters for my 1.6 rocker swap.

 

problem is, when i was installing the intake pushrods, i noticed that they are about 1/32" too long as compared to the old ones.

 

is this going to pose much of a problem?

as long as they don't hold the valve from closing completely...

[stockgp]

that's pretty much waht i'm asking. if they're going to hold the valves open.

 

i guess i'll have to rent a compression tester and see

 

happen to know what the compression should be?

I don't know what it should be, but I know it shouldn't be zero! If your valves are held open, it will be pretty darn low. If I had to guess though, compression should be maybe about 150 or so?

i guess thats a good point

It needs to be above 100, You will most likely see 150-180ish

[stockgp]

well that's discouraging. i checked number 6 with both sets of pushrods, and both read right at 90

Check the rest
