    Hi,

    What is the correct length of the push rods of a 1956 oldsmobile engine?
    I was told they are special for the 56 engine.

    what is the difference between 54,55 and 1956 ones???

    Thanks,

    Are the earlier ones shorter? I have shorter ones (233 mm = 9 1/8?) in my engine now.

    Thanks.

    The machine shop, where my engine is now for a rebuilt said I need longer ones,237 mm, but that means 2 mm longer than the 56 ones.

    Are you selling your spare set??
