Shown here is our checking pushrod tool specifically for use with TRICK FLOW heads on an RB (413/426/440) engine. Trick Flow heads use a considerably longer pushrod since the top of the head was raised up to allow for taller ports, which help to increase the airflow of the head. Use this for applications with adjustable rocker arms which use the ball on the bottom end, and the cup on the top end. This is basically a pushrod which has been cut and threaded, so that it can be screwed in and out (or adjusted) once it is fit in the engine to determine the correct length pushrod you will need for that application. This is for use as a tool only, you would never actually run this pushrod in an engine. Once the correct pushrod length is found (by measuring the length of the checking pushrod after everything is positioned correctly), then pushrods can be ordered or made (if necessary) to that length. This version of our pushrod checking tool is adjustable from approximately 9" to 10." In case you are using Trick Flow heads on a "B" (383/400) engine, then use our standard RB checking pushrod (part number 200-1098) for that application.
