roller rockers rubbing..

Went to put some of my Trickflow 1.5 RR's on my G1 Trickflow heads and noticed that they are going to rub.. I put Comp Cams 986 springs on them due to my choice of cam.. I don't really want to grind them down or anything.. what are my choices?

Thanks

check push rod length and valve train geometry along with the locating method used for the rocker as well as what method the rocker uses

I have a pushrod length checker but what do I need for the geometry for the valve train and where do I find the other info as for the method the rockers use?

trick flow should of provided info on the rocker locating method they use, i'd guess non -SA so you'd want non-SA rockers. as for checking geometry that should of all fell into place with the push rod length check. do a search here or look in a comp or lunati catalog and you'll find some good pics or drawings of how the rocker should contact the valve.
