Default question about my rod.

i just got 1.7 roller rockers. i was wondering if my stock push rods (they are actually hardend rods that i replaced a few months ago when i did my cam swap)are they the right length. i know this is a newb question but its better to ask then mess up my valvetrain right?

Default RE: question about my rod.

I would try them. If nothing has been changed since you put the engine togather, it should be ok.
I would aslo be worryed about having enough valve spring for them. Do you have anything 'left' in the strings? Did you even check them when installing the cam?
Also, make sure that you will have slearance between the top of the valve guide and the bottom of the retainer when the valves are all the way open.......
