Default rockers are hitting spring retainers

Someone please help I'm having a problem with my rockers with the valve closed the rockers hit the retainer. I have seen a post on people having to notch their rockers, but can't find it. I am using stock rockers everything looks like it would be good as far as wipe pattern, but don't know if I should notch the rocker or shim the pedestal. Anyone else run into this problem or find the post on notching rockers.
Thanks

People used to have to clearence the rocker with the 1.450" springs, which I assume yours are. Then they all started snapping rockers. I'd do the easy thing and pull the spring/retainers and sell them. Then buy some PRC platinums and never worry about it. Either that or you'll have to swap to a aftermarket rocker, which will cost you more than the spring kit and probally cause you more problems.
