After cam break in
Sorry about the long wait but it's hunting season and haven't had the time to check this out. Easy solution for a bonehead move on my part. Removed the valve covers and saw a pair of rockers not touching the valves and the push rods sunk in. I pulled the push rod and it was bent. Biggest mistake on my end was assembling the rocker assembly with the manifold on. The first assembly was done without the manifold and we had a tough time keeping the push rods centered on the lifters while tightening the rockers. Learning experience, cam and lifters are good since the engine wasn't run but it did cost me 2 new push rods
