mock up with 2 stock length and go from there. all things being in spec i believe they are supposed to work, but each motor combination is a little different

Buy a length checker. They're about $12. It's better than guessing and screwing something up.

Yeah, I suck really bad at adjusting valves. I am going to have a friend come down that knows what he is doing. Its amazing that I can rebuild an entire motor, and not know how to adjust valves. Even if I bought a checker, I would not know how to use it really .

Some places I read where people were using the stock length, which I think it 6.250?

i use the stock length on mine but the only way to know for sure is to try the stock one out. if it doesnt work, youll need an adjustable pushrod to check for the correct length
