I was answering the part as to whether or not you'll need machining for guideplates. You will not. As far as pushrods go you should always check the length when changing out valvetrain components. You can easily do a valve sweep check. Do a search on checking valve sweep.

More than likely, yes. Another term that can easily be searched and found how to do. You can probably get info from shoebox's page:
