yes, if you can't take the lash out before the rockers are tight, you need longer pushrods. What rockers are you using? Any work done to the heads?

Are your lifters pumped up? Is you intake off? If it is look to see if the plunger inside the lifter is up to the snap ring when you loosen you RR, it needs to be to get started right.
