JD G pushrods to work with flathead on styled block

Brent50G · Oct 21, 2009

Can anyone tell me the exact amount that needs to be removed from john deere G pushrods to make them work on a styled G (styled block) with a flat head (F486R)? Or if you could tell me the overall length they need to be that will be fine too. I’m going to have some made, I will NOT be modifying the originals. Thanks in advance

We had this set up at one point. You can simply use the stock push rods. We had an Unstyled G with a Styled G Block, Flat Head, and stock rods. Using the stock rods will increase the compression but there should be enough clearance if I'm not mistaken. Email me with any other questions.....

I mis-spoke....They will not increase your compression, the head does that. But I still think that the stock push rods are ok.

I'm pretty sure the flat head is right at 1" thinner than the cyclone, so that would translate into 1" shorter, plus however much your block as been decked.
