You may find that they rub the pushrod covers, if too fat. You'll have to install, to see if it will be a problem.

Re: Pushrod size
More than likely, yours are aluminum. That in itself is not a problem. I'm assuming that you do not have hydraulic units, so that, combined with the aluminum pushrods, will just make for a bit more noise. They have more of a ring to them.

Re: Pushrod size
Hi Skip
like Jack said if they don't rub all will be ok. Remember the push rod covers were designed to accomodate to old "oilcan" hydraulics (48-52) so they are pretty wide.
