It works NOTHING like that! Only problem with a washer, or not, is the stud might bottom out in the hole.

Stud length/height does not dictate where/how high or low the rocker sets.

I'm just worried that if I take those guideplates out that the rocker will just that much lower and when the valve opens it will smack my piston.

My heads have also been milled .01''.

The height of your valve, and the length of your pushrod determine where the rocker sits.

Or keep them both and get hardened/chromoly pushrods.

There are some things you just aren't supposed to do in life and this is one of them. No "if's and's or but's" about it.
