Pushrod Clearance

[73ChargerSE]

Got around to installing my roller rockers yesterday.  I noticed that a couple of the pushrods are against the intake runners.  Is this normal?  What can I do to fix this.  I've got spacers that came with my rockers.  Time to utilize those?

Thanks

I'm not sure what engine and rocker set-up you have but on my 440 with crane gold roller rockers and 3/8 pushrods I had to grind on the head to get clearance for my pushrods so they wouldn't hit the head. You might be able to goto a smaller high strength pushrod for clearance.

Paul make sure the rollers are centered over the valve tips....that is what the spacers are for. 

What engine are we talking about here ? Head casting ? Pushrod diameter ?

Well the rollers are centered.  They're the 3/8 diameter I believe.  Heads are the 440source Stealth heads on a 400.
