    WELL #ONE ..first off never use a guilded rocker on a guilded head or with guid plates or guild plates on heads that are guilded less your looking for bad things added wear and bent stuff will be in your future#TWO .. push rods that are right for rocker mild lift or pattern them with layout. push rod length come in to play on any after market rocker but hittting the hat part of the retainer that can be a + retainer or 050 + locks or all. rocker hitting can be from to much setup height or needing a longer push rod may need to be used or use rockers that will clear the retainer . and if this fails you need a short set up then go back and read post #4
