Default Largest pushrod diameter in stock holes ?

I want to order a custom set from Trend . 3/8'' diameter, .135'' wall thickness, 7.425'' length

Will these work without machine work ? For reference a normal performance Gen 3 pushrod is 5/16'' diameter , .080'' wall thickness .

Have #241 castings if makes a difference .

You might run into problems, the rockers you use can also cause problems.

Ends can be tapered to 5/16'' . Just wondering if the pushrod holes in the stock heads will allow for a 3/8'' diameter pushrod without machine work ?

Setup
