Pushrod rubbing guide plate/head

I bought a new engine with dyno time only on it.

I pulled it apart to change the cam and noticed the pushrods are rubbing against the guide plates/ head. In the pics, you can see the dark marks on the pushrods. I can feel a slight ridge in the pushrod with my finger nail where the dark marks are.

Do I just clearance the area, replace the pushrods, and check for interference?

I'm thinking of using a hand file (fine rat tail) and sand rolls to clearance the area. Is there a better way?
