Question 318 pushrods

I change the cam of my 318 to a one with more lift and duration( hydraulic). When I tried to install the valvetrain (the stock 1.5) I notice that I will need a larger set of pushrods. A friend told me that a set of adjustable pushrods will work.Another friend don't recomend me the use of adjustable,but he don,t know the true reason. I may go for a set of adjustable rocker arms, but this is a more expensive solution. Please I accept recomendations for this issue.Thanks

Get an adjustable to figure the length, then order a set made to the correct length.

Most any local speed shop can order them for you. If you don't have anyone local, try Jeggs or Summit.

Thank's Crazy4Carz, first I'm going to find a pushrod lenght checker and later I will try Summit or Jeggs.The stock pushrod lenght is 7.5", I think I will need something near 7.58"

odd, i never ran into a problem with changing cams, never had a pushrod issue,
did you run it like that or just bolted them down and they were a lil loose.
