Easy fix ... just buy the shortened pushrods from BFE and throw the shims in
the trash.
Others will no doubt disagree, but IMO there is never a good reason to
change the height of the rocker pedestals unless you've changed the location
of the valve seats, or used valves of a different length, or are running
radically more lift than stock (in which case the pedestals should be
shorter, not longer). Shortening the pushrods is the right way to deal with
milling the head.
