The push rods are smith brothers.

Or can I machine down the cup to allow clearance?
I don't know if the c-shaped impression from the edge of the pushrod cup is the culprit or not. As you have, I had thought of options of getting shorter pushrods, clearancing the rocker arms with a grinder, grinding the lips of the cups of the pushrods, changing to new rockers.

I feel your pain.
