Making Push Rods

Jimbo

You can fool some of the people some of the time
Here's an inexpensive way to make a tool to determine how long you need to make those HD chromolly push rods.
Cut 1 or 2 stock push rods.
Cut the head off of an 8 X 32 bolt.
Drill the push rod with a #29 drill bit (.136") then tap on the ID of the push rod
Screw it together and adjust the length to determine what you need.

Similar to what I use here in the shop.
Correct rocker geometry is critical.
This is a great time/money saving tool!
Thanks for sharing, Jimbo!

Thanks,
Brian Carlson
