i would run longer push rods. i have seen the balls snap off the adjusters. i forget what 1 thread is. I think it is .045" I was in the same exact situation with mine. i had over $100 into the pushrods and they ended up being just a little bit short. It cost me another $125 for the new push rods but i am glad i did it. I will never have to worry about it. Is a $100 part worth it if the adjuster breaks and gets into the engine and hurts something? Three people have said they are too short now. I would listen to them and not just keep asking till you get the answer you want to hear.
