The push rods are different lengths to make up for different distance frm cam to rocker/cam. When you dis assemble an engine you need to keep everrything in order so you can put it back into the place where it came form as there are many others parts that are mesured or worn in to that particular one poistion. You will have to move them around until they fit correctly.
