Morning Diegokid,
Just checked your thread posted as I was hacking away with my blazing 1 finger method.
You mentioned.......... "Since the pushrod length doesn't affect the geometry with shaft mounted rockers and you only have the 2 or so extra threads showing it shouldn't be an issue if you can properly adjust the rockers with the pushrods you have and still have a full engagement on the locknut."

I agree that the length of the pushrod on a shaft mounted rocker is used to adjust the lash and will not correct the geometry. I do check the contact area though as a sanity check for valve length and pedestal height. With all the possible areas machined and component combinations possible I never underestimate the weird stuff.
