F-20 push rod

nosih · Jul 5, 2008

Okay, I am rebuilding an 8-16, but the push rods had been removed from the engine years ago. I am trying to find a push rod that will work, so I need to know the base diameter and length of a F-20/regular push rod, or if anyone has a clue on where to find a set of 8-16 push rods, that would help greatly..

You can measure from the lifter seat up to the valve rocker when the valve is closed. Add a few hundreths of an inch , but watch where the rocker adjustment is, and should be good to go for length. find a rod that fits the cups well and you can cut the replacement rods to length or add metal as needed and weld them up. There is not a lot of pressure on the springs and as long as you weld them good and straight it should ne fine.

That is what we are trying to do here.. I have the measurements of the 8-16 push rod, I know the 10-20 will not work, so I need the overall length of the F20/regular push rod to see if it will work. Thanks for the help.
