pushrods

Can having pushrods that are too long cause a loss in compression?

Thanks.

I guess it depends on how long you go. If you fit longer pushrods and then adjust the valve lash, your valves would theoretically be set the same because you would not tighten the rocker nuts as much. So I'll say no. Any takers?

No, having pushrods that are too long will not affect or effect compression.
