Default Pushrod Galleries

Hello everybody,
I am a newbie to this forum, so please forgive me if this question has been asked many times before.
I am wondering if it is necessary to elongate the pushrod gallery holes on a stock LS1 head when installing a set of Com DRE shaft mount rockers.
The rockers are 1.8's instead of the standard 1.7's.
Any replies, advice, or recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes. All shaft mounted rockers require to elongate the holes and use a way shorter pushrod. Probably a 7.050" or so. Shaft mounted rockers for any motor are not a drop in replacement.

I mean REAL shaftmounts. I don't consider yella terra's or sharp's as a shaftmount rocker. No real shaftmount is a bolt and go rocker.
