302 PUSHROD HELP!!!!
Alright guys I've got my 302 "budget build" 90% of the way complete. I'm having some trouble identifying if this will be an issue because pedestal roller rockers suck. I noticed the stock length pushrods I bought wouldn't work with my scorpion roller rockers so I checked the length and had a guy at my local speed shop match a set for me. Installed them and this is where the roller hits the valve tip. I've never built an engine and the instructions don't say anything about the sweep or anything so hopefully one of you builders will have something to say about it because nobody I've asked so far has replied. Thanks in advance

-Caleb
