camaro after valve adjus
Oh boy, you didn't need to loosen the rockers to remove the push rods. If the engine wasn't running erratically like that before you took it apart, then the problem is with your valve adjustment, unless something went wrong and the intake is still leaking. You may have some or all of the valves set either too tight or too loose. What adjustment procedure did you follow?

I don't think the 3.4l had different pushrods because when I installed my 1.6 rr and hardened pushrods they were all the same length with no special instructions.
I think you're confusing this with the non-adjustable rocker 3.4 version. The Camaro 3.4 has adjustable rocker arms, and the intake & exhaust push rods are the same length, 6.163". Valve adjustment follows the same basic procedure as a sbc.
Here's a diagram with instructions. Although, I don't like using the two-step adjustment method.

Thanks for the heads up guys... My parts computer at work shows 2 different rods and lengths for the camaro. I might have to check that out against the paper listings. I am glad I have not sold any yet and only looked them up for a customer.
