Default Pushrod length and PTV clearances?

Looking at putting some heads on an LS1 that already has a cam.

Cam is a 228/232 .603/.609 110lsa

Heads are Patriot stage 2 LS6's, milled to 59cc.

First, are the PTV clearances ok, or will I be putting a valve through a piston?

Second, what pushrod length do I need?

Third, can I use 1.75 rocker arms on this head/cam combination, without flycutting? (turns into a ..620/.627 lift)

Thanks in advance for the help...

You need to measure.

You need to measure. There are a lot of variables and the pushrods are the last thing you should order. Buy an adjustable pushrod instead.

Max lift occurs with the piston down the cylinder so it really isn't major a player in PTV.

Thanks in advance for the help...
