while this may sound like the cost to get the rocker geometry correct,
are a bit expensive its really not a bad price for a selection of adjustable push-rods,
that may prevent much more expensive issues if your building an engine
I already have several but they are at least 40 years old and I figured its about time to get a few extras
maybe its just me, but I like to verify all my engine clearances and rocker geometry , as it reduces potential problems
if your within .050 youll generally be ok, if your within, .030 or less that is ideal,
at some point your effectively "SPLITTING HAIRS" and yes ideal length is preferred
if you have adjustable length push rods you can play with the length to find ,
what gives you the best and most consistent and ideally narrow and preferably centered,valve tip wear pattern
that way your not guessing , you see what minor changes do to the wear pattern
