(For example: do not use P/Ns 15F28835-17 and 15F19957-17 in the same cylinder.) Push rods with new part numbers and push rods with a superseded part number of different lengths can be used in the same cylinder." Why would Lycoming prohibit using two pushrods of the same length with different part numbers in the same cylinder? I don't see how it would matter.

Whom ever wrote up the SI did a poor job as you pointed out. They did not explain WHY! Also, reading this: "Push rods with new part numbers and push rods with a superseded part number of different lengths can be used in the same cylinder." HOW MUCH of a difference is allowed? OK... So if the difference is 0.001" is that acceptable? Looks like we have to write back to Lycoming and get a Revision to this SI!

Differing lengths are normally not an issue as long as the dry tappet clearance is within the .028 to .080 spec.
