Okay, I'll measure a pushrod tonight. I think we found that the 
Bentley didn't give a number and the number that we found 
somewhere else seemed to have 2 digits transposed so that it was 
off by ~10mm (sound familiar?) so this is certainly a problem for 
someone who doesn't have the setting gauge.  

Dave Hall may have all the relevant info; I know he sent me a scan 
of the drawing for the setting gauge if you want to make one, but 
that's really a lot of trouble to go to.
