Bruce -

I was assuming the rocker geometry is correct.  You should check that before finalizing the pushrod length.  You have adjustable rocker studs, right?  Make sure the roller contact pattern is roughly centered on the valve stem.  Once you've got that checked on a few cylinders, then you should have a good idea where the pushrod length needs to be.

Thank you WConley. That's how I would have done it but reading other posts and such on the interwebs, I figured I'd have to jump through a bunch of hoops, check it at half lift and so on.
I do have the correct length checker, from Summit.   :)

Thanks again!

Just get a pushrod length checker tool from somebody like Summit.  Make sure the length range and ball ends are correct for your SBF.

Summit has several like this:  (I don't know if this one is correct for your application)

Once you have the length set up correctly for your lifter preload, measure it and order your pushrods in that length.

Hey guys!
Question: How do you all go about measuring for the correct pushrod length with the engine together, with hydraulic roller lifters?
This is a new 347 stroker SBF using AFR Enforcer heads with screw in studs and guide plates running roller rockers.
It's staying together minus the intake and we're not changing a lifter to a solid. Just need to figure this as-is.

Thanks guys! Any help greatly appreciated.  :)

Thanks Barry good to hear from you.
That outing at your track do you have to be there all three days or can you just go Sunday.
Another 3 day event would be tough on the pocket so close to the reunion.

The owner sent it to the sandblaster to blast the bed so I won't be able to check it out until it gets back home.
I did notice the rats nest of wiring on the truck but didn't get time to look at it.
Most of my tools are in my shop and the truck is quit a way's away from my shop.
I think it will have to have a new engine or at least a new set of rebuild heads as it has 3 dead cylinder's. the distro is not correct and frozen to the block as the original reason he had me look at it was to adjust the timing.
Thanks for the help.
Greg

My guess would be they tapped into the red wire feeding the module to power the coil or some other key on device. The coil maybe because the resistance wire went bad. What powers the module now? Are the wires nutted back together? If the red wire was cut at the module someone could have ran a wire inside to a switch and back out again to the module as an anti-theft device. Try looking for evidence of other wires cut or out of place and that may help. Put a voltmeter on your coil, make sure you’re good there running and cranking. If the coil has been bypassed it could have got hot and become weak. If you need more info there is some below.
