push rod geometry concerns

I am working on correcting some push rod concernson a SBC, but I was wondering. Is it ok to use offset rockers without offset lifters?

This is my first engine with the need for offset. Any other info about offset pushrods would be great! THANKS!!

-how much offset are you talking about?
-What rocker brand and style?
-----------------------------------
-I have run some older Jesel .220" offsets without offset lifters and had no problems

I have run stud mount .150" offset rockers with standard lifters with no issues.... It was a 6500rpm engine. Not sure if problems would arise on a higher rpm engine.....

My thoughts were that it would work fine, but I have no experianceat all, with offset rockers.

For whats it worth... I've used .750" offset on BBCs and "B" Mopars for drag use with no unusual wear. Centered lifters, Jesel and T&D rockers.
