I just lined up the two lengths that I have and the short ones are 214mm and the long ones are 220mm.
So, about the same as what Kevin has measured.
As I only have 7, does someone have 1 or a set they want to sell

| Post subject: | Push rod length |
I’m building a 1275 and have a bulk lot of pushrods that a friend gave me. Is there a difference in length from small bore to large bore engines. All of the pushrods measure approximately 205mm overall. They all have a little teat on the end from the cam follower. Can these be ground and reused assuming the length is ok. While testing the brains trust, what cam followers should I buy ? Phil |

Thanks Kev. I have looked at John Smidt parts book for push rods and it lists 12A250 for 850, 998 & 1098 engines and AEG314 for 1275 including cooper S. Does anyone know what the length of a 1275 push rod should be. Apart from the ones I have that are ~205mm I have 7 that are ~220mm. Phil |

Kevin Thank you for your generous offer. Below is a photo of the push rods that I have. The ends are “bulkier” than the other rods. You may be able to confirm that these are in fact 1275 push rods before I take up your offer. Attachment: BB72D9A6-8663-4C31-8035-DC5A4F00D171.jpeg Regards Phil |

I will take pics in the morning. Edit- I have several like those with the rounded top, also another which is tapered at top. All are BMC ones not aftermarket. All measure about 222mm overall. 1275 length. I have some small bore pushrods also. I have a pic on my phone, PM me your mobile and I'll send it. |
