Contrary to popular opinion, the rocker geometry is set by the height of the
pedestals and the length of the valves and the shape of the rockers.  If you
don't change those things, you will not change the rocker geometry.  Hence
there is no need to check it after just milling the head and installing
shorter pushrods to match.

The pushrods should be shorter by approximately the amount milled from the
head, but the adjusters will make up for any small errors, again without
affecting rocker geometry.
