Does anyone have pushrod length data from a build using Barry's Felony heads, OEM non-adjustable rockers and stands, and Morel 5325 hydraulic rollers. I need to order an adjustable pushrod from Smith Brothers to use to determine pushrod length (at zero lash) for my build. The Smith Adjuster offered only has .250 range and ideally I can order one that's provides 1/8" adjustment in each direction.
I thought these checker pushrods would have more range, but Smith is the only option I found to get a 3/8 ball on one end and a 5/16 ball on the other. I'm open to alternate suggestions.

Jegs has a nice pushrod length checker that has a 3/8" ball on it. You're gonna want to be in the 8.700-9" range.

Brent, their is no mention of ball end size, is it universal that one side is 3/8 and one side is 5/16?

Let me look again, Jim. I may have totally got the source wrong. I have a full set, one I use for Trend pushrods, one I use for Smith, and one with the 3/8" ball configuration.

Jim, I can't find what I was looking for.
Here's a link to Alex's Parts, he sells one with a 3/8" ball. That's not the length you need, nor does it have the 5/16" on the other end, but that's the only 3/8" ball end checker I can find right now.

Jegs sells a nice kit with lots of tips, maybe check out theirs
All of mine have ended up between 8.75 and 9.050, only breaking 9 inches on TFS heads.
