Hi Jonathan,
I've struck that problem in the past and used spacers under the rockers to
solve the problem (100S).
Unfortunately the rocker screws on a 100 come pretty close to the rocker
cover and you may have problems with that when you raise the rocker shaft.
I resolved that by using an extra thick rocker cover gasket..
Failing that I think your "shorter push rod" idea may be the only solution
I have had them made by Crowler in the past...don't know if they still do
it.
