Push rod length checker DIY.



A important thing is lenght of the push rods. A lenght checker isnt expensive.
I didnt had one in hand so i made my own.

Cut the old push rod in two half, cut off another inch or two from one of the halves.
Make threads in both halves with a tap. I used M6 and i think that 5/16 should work.
Take a threaded rod and 2 nuts to lock the threads. Simple and perfect and almost free.



Threading push rod to be a lenght checker.
