Was the length issue that stopped me answering as I have some that I think are correct and now i know how long they should be , I can check at the weekend if you have no luck inbetween times - Steve.

I would appreciate that Steve. I will await your response. Thanks Paul

To make things confusing Ford supplied push rods as part of their racing spares package to suit engines which had had the cylinder heads skimmed and thus needing shorter rods. You'd think there wouldn't be much difference due to cylinder head only being a bit thinner. However I'm sure I've got 3 different lengths of 1500 pushrods! Sorry - non for sale at the moment though.

 

That answers a question as I've been offered some that seem to be 2mm shorter than standard so these may be for a skimmed head. Thanks Paul

yes, when throbnozzle racing built my engine & skimmed my head he shortened my push rods

 

977, 1200, 1300, pre-xflow engines, I would have thought used the same pushrods

Unfortunately my head is brand new so I need full length rods.

Ok Paul - not sure if this is a good thing or no advantage to be had but I have 7 of these - Steve.

Steve what do you want for them ? 7 is better than none.

Thanks Paul

Hey sorry for the late reply.

 

The 116 E are the conrods I have.

 

Push rods, I have lots (used)

 

Just need a length and I can make sure I grab the correct ones.

 

Or find me a Burton Ad and I can match them up.

The listed length is 188.9mm as standard. If you can rustle up a full set of would be appreciated.

Thanks Paul

Totally confused now as my mk1 manual says rods are all 178.8mm which is what throbnozzle said.

 

I give up.

I've got a 1500 engine (standard and un-molested) on the stand - I will open it up and check the length for you today.

That they maybe in terms of crankshaft and sump but in terms of pushrods it's not the case - standard ones should all be the same length as the block height, cylinder head and camshaft dimensions are all the same.

That would be amazing if you could. Be nice to have a definitive answer.
