springersrolla Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hey guys. Got a 5k ive almost finished and am looking for some custom made ball cup 182mm pushrods. Has anyone had any luck with some idea of where I can get them made. Ive heard heaps of suggestions like diy/ put in adjustable. Ive been told crower or jet engineering but hoping someone on here might know a good source?? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJM85 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) So you've got a 5k with dished pistons and accompanying head. But you converted it to solid lifters and now need pushrods to suit? Am I correct? Wait no. Gutted 5k lifters?

Running 3f solid landcruiser lifters. 4k rocker gear. 5k worked head o/s valves and 40thou over 5k block. Needed adjustable rockers for solid grind cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJM85 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 4kc pushrods are 182mm is there not enough adjustment in the rocker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springersrolla Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 hey well thats embarrasing!! ive been using 3k rods cut down and tapped to make adjustables, never occured to me that length, or the fact i never had any here to measure to 4k. off to the wreckers for some 4k rods by the look of it. hopefully i can get away with the adjustment, and if not ill get some customs. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
