Default kre d-port pushrod clearance

I been working on assembling my motor,I'm using a set of kre d-ports cnc'd by sd performance. I want to bolt the heads down to the block but I don't have my rocker arms yet so I'm not sure if I need to do anything to clearance the pushrod holes,I don't want to find out AFTER they are torqued down that they need to come back off and be ground on. I'm running a solid roller cam with .370 lobe lift/.610 valve lift w/1.65 rockers,typically does anything have to be done to the kre d-ports at this lift as far as pushrod to guide clearence,thanks,Smitty

Ditto what Darby said. KREs come pre-clearanced for 1.65 rockers.

Do you have the correct length pushrods?Like others have said no problems with 1.65 rockers.

Haven't got to the pushrods yet as I don't have my rocker arms,I mainly needed to know if I go ahead and install the heads while I wait for the rest of my parts that I wouldn't end up having to pull them back off to add more clearence for the pushrods but I think my question has been answered,thanks,Smitty

My KRE's by SD were also clearanced for the 1.65 rockers. My total lift is .61, similar to yours. If you have any doubt, call SD...If you didn't buy directly from SD, there's a number stamped on the front surface of the heads. I think they can identify the work done on those specific heads by that number.

I was just wondering if you have measured for pushrod lift.It is just easier to swap to checker springs with the heads off.
