Tulio: If you do a search here on adjusters & pushrods, there's a posting from John Mummert a few days ago, re adjuster-pushrod fits. Might be helpful.. Mine seem to be ok on the adjusting among parts, as it fits really nice on the adjusters.
My concern is if the machining markings on the cup won't harm the adjuster's ball.
The pushrods are marked Schumann 250#, and I don't know if it's really truth they were manufactured by the tech author of "How to rebuild a Y Block Ford" like it was told at the e-Bay ad, since I don't have that book to see if this Shumann was on it.
The efective length is the correct one for my engine, they seem to be very resistant, and the last thing I wanted was to polish 16 pushrods without the need for it.
I never installed this kind of part on a Y-Block, only on a 302, and this one nas a ball on both ends. I really have no experience to say if my tubular pushrods have the correct finish on the cups or not, maybe I'm being too carefull, I don't know. That's what I really wnat to know.
