Title: Push rod length
Post by: JeffWS on April 12, 2024, 11:06:37 PM

Interested in determining which engine uses push rods that are approximately 6 3/16" (6.1875) in length.

Any idea?

Thank you

Lots of them - it might help if we knew what diameter, the end design, and perhaps the application. Far too many options otherwise.


Here's a guide:

5/16"

Ball on both ends.

Looks like 289 302 type but different length.

Looks like 581S or 5116 series on the Smith Bros. Site.
