Push rods are not a big deal. All you need to do is to be sure that they are in a compression position and then set them with a feeler gage of the proper size. Now, Us guys that have been doing this for years do not even bother with a feeler gage as we know that a 1/4th to a 1/3rd of a turn will give us what we need. Dandy Dave!
Have a Fordsonful day Folks!
