Remove th material on the head where they meet.

You shouldn't have any problem between the rocker and the p.rod though. I will defer on that one..

Material had to come off my rockers for my engine for the same reason.

I'd just assume grind on a rocker arms rather than on a $2400 set of cylinder heads. I've seen both done without issues though! The perk of clearancing the rocker arms is that you can do it away from the assembled engine without pulling the heads!

Plus, the rockers are then clearanced for other heads if the heads are ever swapped.
