I used 7.178" pushrods with 1.5 rockers with my Crane Powermax 2032 cam. Can I use the same pushrods with my Comp 268XFI cam? Same 1.5 rockers.

Re: Will these pushrods work with COMP 268XFI?

Maybe; only way to know is to install it all and find out. Probably not though: most higher-lift cams tend to require longer push rods than stock, not shorter than stock like those, because to make cam lift higher, they make the "back" side of the lobe SMALLER, since lift is the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN the "back" of the lobe and the tip (which is always at about the same dia, namely as big as it can possibly be and still fit through the journals to install it).

Only way to know for sure is to assemble it and measure.
