    Trying to figure out which push rods to use.
    Got ZZP VS cam shaft and LS7 lifters. The stock push rods are to long.
    6.95 or 7.00 push rods?

    The push rod tool I get 2.5 turns.
    Measuring the push rod tool is 6.93"
    Turning the bolt on rocker arm I get 1.5 turns

    6.95 has been the size I have seen most guys end up using on a CompCams cam and LS7 lifters.

    Likely the lifter has enough uh..movement that it'll work.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
