I think they're 1/4" ... anyone know the length? I know one of them is 
shorter than the others so it doesn't hit a tappet; I need a 'long' one.

They're N/A at Moss.

      <div>Thanks, Michael. Got a source?<br>
        <br>
        BTW, Tom Monaco of Tom's Import Toys told me yesterday all the
        parts suppliers have a lot of backordered stock; he's a Moss
        distributor and said Moss has (something like) 125K parts
        backordered (they supposedly sell 10x that in total).<br>
