I would set the engine on…
I would set the engine on the compression stroke so the pushrods are free to rotate and drift the shaft very careful out and take a look at the conic end. If they looks ok, give the conic end a light smear of gasketcompound and thighten them good up again. Maybe you must take the rockebox of the head to drift the shaft out and back because of the spring and shims at the shaft. I think it is worth a try.
