Hughes rocker arm pedestal shims

I see your point there, no matter if the heads were milled or not the valve stem height in relation to the pedistal would not change. I think a guy actually needs a little on both sides. My adjustable rockers can give me a shorter length ( than stock) on the pushrod side simply by backing them off but I feel as though I need to retrieve the correct geometry with also a slight raise of the pedestal. Need to get the grease out like Ted said, mock them up and see where it's at.
