273 adjustable rocker conundrum..

I had to do a little grinding too.
I have the wrong springs but they are set up and they work.

These are Crower Springs that the engine builder put on 7 years ago. The 596 heads were completely rebuilt and I really don't have many miles on them. They had the clearance the 273 rockers that I gave them originally but when they shut the engine up they said some of the adjusters weren't holding and that's when I had to take them off and put locking adjusters on.. that was 7 years ago though when parts were plentiful and like I said I foolishly sold that set...
I tried to slip a .030 piece of welding wire behind the spring and it wouldn't pass..
