Original T-rod is same length and should be fine...BUT, the right pin in Eastern kit is too big of a diameter also. Then when comparing overall length of all at 3 rods and T-rods, it was same length as one long rod (originally in tunnel) and the shorter “left center”pushrod from new kit; I installed that way and it appears to work well. However, I am not sure of implications of using two internal pushrods and T-rod. Additional thought...if longest pushrod in motor for decades was not original and put in it by previous owner it should have failed I guess. He does not recall but said he had worked on it when he owned it (1955-2013). I simply cannot find any specs for the pushrods though, length, diameter, hardness, etc.
