The pushrods in a 3.1L are different lengths. The intake pushrods are shorter than the exhaust pushrods. That's really half the story right there. You will need to know which valves are for intake and which are for exhaust. While looking at the head you will see the the valve springs assemblies are at differing heights. The ones that appear highest on the head are your intake valves, the ones appearing lowest are your exhaust valves. to be exact the intake pushrods are approx. 5 and 3/4 inches long, exhausts are 6 inches, on 3.1
