3/8" Pushrod Question with ETP 215 Heads What's the deal with running 3/8" pushrods on ETP heads? I'm having some weird issues with my setup in the higher RPM range (in another thread here), and I want to swap in some stiffer and slightly longer pushrods. My existing 5/16" pushrods nearly touch the pushrod bores in the head. Will 3/8" pushrods even fit? I'm using stock rockers on the ETP rocker stand.

If they touch or don't fit I guess I will have my machine shop bore out the hole ever so slightly.
