Screw in rocker studs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When do I need to go to screw in studs vs the pressed in studs?

I currently have a 1.6 roller tip rockers with springs to match, but my problem is now the push rod touches the hole in the head. I need to either redrill the holes larger, or elongate them. While I have the heads off, I can do the screw in studs, but it is quite an expensive venture.

I have a set of full roller rockers off a corvette at my disposal; is putting in full rollers reason enough to re stud. The rockers are self aligning, so I do not need to do this for guide plates.
