Default 1.72 roller rockers & PTV clearance

First question is any problems in general with breakage or valve covers not fitting with the comp cams gold 1.72 roller rockers?

If not does anyone see a Piston To Valve clearance problem running these rockers with my proposed setup for my up coming LS1 build:

TSP Stage 2.5 5.3 LS heads milled down to 59cc with stock thick OEM gaskets
Double gold Springs w/ Ti Retainers
Comp Cams 7.35" Pushrods
Frutral F13 Cam 230/232 .595/.585 114* LSA

Thanks guys & LMK what you think

Don't know if they contact head wall or cover. The rockers won't cause a PTV clearance issue, but, the cam might. PTV clearance MUST be checked & don't forget to get your valve tip wipe pattern centered. Don't know how you've selected 7.350" pushrods without checking valve wipe pattern.
