POWERHOUSE PUSHROD CHECKER

摘要

Building an engine at home can be a very rewarding experience, but getting it wrong can be frustrating. One of the biggest causes of DIY engine projects gone wrong is incorrect valvetrain geometry. Finding the proper pushrod length is perhaps one of the biggest challenges-if you don't have the right tools. Powerhouse Products has the solution with their sturdy five-piece push-rod length checking tool set (PN POW101240, $63.50), which can find any popular pushrod length from 5.800 inches through 9.800 inches. Designed like a micrometer, you insert the Pro Pushrod Length Checker in place of a pushrod and unscrew it until the correct length and geometry are achieved. You can read the height right from the etched markings, with each revolution equal to .05 inch.
