Calculate Pushrod Length



Formula

The formula to calculate the Pushrod Length (PR) is:

\[ \text{PR} = \text{OL} - \frac{\text{BD}}{2} \]

Where:

Pushrod Length Definition

The pushrod length is the distance from the center of the ball at one end of the pushrod to the center of the ball at the other end. It is a critical measurement in engine assembly and tuning.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the Pushrod Length:

\[ \text{PR} = 8 - \frac{1}{2} = 7.5 \, \text{inches} \]

This demonstrates that with an overall length of 8 inches and a ball diameter of 1 inch, the pushrod length would be 7.5 inches.
