Oh boy. Valvetrain geometry issues.
If you want to pick up the tab....I'm in. Are those Hughes? Have you run them yet?
They are Hughes, the only thing I changed were the Locks for the rockers, they just had the old Teflon threaded lock that will back off over time.
They are small block Chevy 1.6 rockers that Hughes just puts in a kit, I didn't buy mine from Hughes, I got mine on a trade for some MP Performance BB Valve covers.
I'm using these Hardened push-rods from Speedway
Small Block 302 Ford Push rods, 6 7/8 Inch
Part #: 91514100
After I installed them and did a geometry check, they are working pretty good.
I have not ran the motor yet, but so far they are rubbing the permanent marker on the valve like they're supposed to. When I tried to use the original stamped rockers, they were way off even with the original push-rods.
