Pushrod Rub (Intake side of head)

Getting ready to pull the heads and disassemble/grind on them, but before I do, figured some extra sets of eyes wouldn't hurt.


SM heads, PRW/SM 1.5 rockers, b3 correction kit. My measurement tool is 11/32, but a 5/16 pushrod is still way too close, but I can at least spin it.

Considering a couple options.

The first is to grind the heads, but there's always the chance of popping through the intake port, plus a fair bit of labor.

Second would get me some clearance, a swap to 1.6 rockers should bring the pushrods closer to the shaft (only .060 based on my math, but still something)

Thoughts?
