Im not sure which is longer off hand but you can download the Srvc Man from the links in my sig and use it to find out

On a side note to not idling, it is common for guys to put the push rods on the oil passages and not the holes for the lifters.

To determine this, take the VCs off and pull a plug from each cyl, rotate the engine over by hand and watch EACH push rod move up and down and verify them

Thanks again. I was reading on some other post. About the not idleing issue and I read that the Throttle Body and the GT may have to be replaced. What is the GT?
