Re: rocker arms

you either mixed the pushrods up somehow, or the threads where the rocker arm bolt goes into the head is messed up. There is an outside chance that you have a collapsed lifter (did the engine have a bad tick before you tore it down?) but I'd bet you have a pushrod in the wrong spot. Do you see another rocker arm that is at a different angle (pointing more upward) than the rest? If so, that's the one where you have the long pushrod where a short one goes.
