Thread: What is the length of the pushrods on a Buick 215

  1. #1

    What is the length of the pushrods on a Buick 215

    I am getting conflicting information on the length of pushrods for the Buick 215 4bbl engine.

    Have valve train noise after a rebuild and I think I may not have the right pushrods in the engine.

    Oldsmobile and Buick 215's have different pushrod lengths due to their design. But I can't

    seem to find the measurements for these parts.

    Can anyone answer this question for me?

    I have a 340 pulled down at the moment pretty sure that will interchange so I will measure them tomorrow. My Buick man over here tells me that that will fit and have been told this before by other people. Cheers Troy

    The 340 deck height is greater than the 215 and 300 because of its longer stroke. This means the pushrods are longer too.

    This page may be of help:

    I see, so it was sort of right the page say that 64 300's will fit.

    According to this page, stock 215 pushrods are either 8.030" or 8.045".
