Only if the new valve seats put the face of the valve in the same
place... You might want to check that. Best plan is to set up a pair of
valves with some light springs and adjustable pushrods, and then
determine the optimum pushrod length that centers the roller travel on
the valve tip.

Subject: [Tigers] Valve train geometry help
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue - I had my heads
rebuilt and had larger intakes put in. Late model valves were used.
These valves have a longer tip above the retainer. Now, taking both
measurements from a catalog and micing the two style valves, there seems
to be about a .154 difference in length. With the 1.6 ratio roller
rockers that I am using, it seems to me that if I take the tip
difference and divide by the ratio (.09625), I could install pushrods
that are .1 shorter and eliminate all of the issues with grinding down
the tips. Do my calc's sound kosher?
