I got my 1.3 rockers yesterday, I have 6.500" length chrome push rods from Vegas carts in the motor now. NR racing website (where I got the rockers) says I need to shorten the pushrods 60 thousandths to a length of 6.44". What's the best way beside turning on a lathe? It would be 2 months before I can get back to the machine shop... Was thinking of pulling ball end out, scribing a line .060" from end and taking it off with a bench grinder and clean up on belt sander. Also thought about using bandsaw then cleaning on belt sander. Probably be pretty tricky with the bandsaw since the blade is .030-.040" itself...
