Erik,
What did you mill your head down to?
I've just had mine shaved down to Kastner's recommendation for 10.25:1 and
was wondering about the pushrod issue~
TIA,

Milling the HEAD should be done if the head is warped or if you want to
achieve a moderate increase in compression ratio (max of about 10.5:1).
Milling the head will change the rocker geometry and in extreme cases may
require shorter pushrods. My car has been running at least 10:1 compression
for over 60,000 miles and uses stock length (but lightweight) pushrods.
