Not sure if they will work for the Viper engine (maybe I should have posted this in the Driven section), but I found these:

Pushrod Length Checker

Pushrod Length Checker


EDIT- I am *not* affiliated with the company in the links above in *any* way.

Baz, I have one but they're for Trend pushrods. I've always been told to use a pushrod length checker from the pushrod manufacturer you're going with. Got mine from Dan at Viper Specialty.

Just in case, Summit has them. Get both sizes, our push rods fall right in the low range of one and in the high range of the other.

All sorted ...

BAZ, Post what you calculate your pushrod length at just FYI. We have close to the same set-up (if you used stock head gaskets) and I'm running Trend 3/8 7.70in pushrods. Measured at zero lash with TDs backed all the way out. Ended up with 7.70. With one turn of the TD adjuster I get the required .050 pre-load.

Hey Baz, this little chart from JackB was a huge help for me when I installed and adjusted my rockers although on a stock engine:

ELLOWVIPER: What kind of power did you put down???

 

[EllowViper]

Wish I knew..need to get on a dyno and check out-verify my fuel situation and get the tune dialed-in. THis set-up is really wild and tuning on the street is getting too insane. Even 4th gear pulls are dicey given how fast things are happening in and out of the car now. Also, I have my Innovate WB in the header collector and now I'm overheating the sensor. I put a heat sink on it but I might have already done the internal damage to the sensor. Everytime I do something to this car its a completely different feel. Going from stock to the 5 lb ROE was bizzare. Going to the 6.5 with W/M and TDs was night and day. Going to the 10 Lb with some intake/head improvements,more W/M and the Findaza was again night and day. Where/when does it stop!!! (I sound like my wife now). THese cars are just unbelievable. After three years and 30K miles, I still get excited to go for a ride for any reason!!
