Fresh engine, wiped cam? Tick? (new pics added)
What I beleve has happened is that the plunger has been bottomed out and is stuck.
This has caused the oil ports to be misaligned. You have to get them back up where they belong. Once you do that, they should be ok.
The valve springs are another story. The springs that Lunati called for have stock installed height of 1.65" with 120 pounds of pressure at that height.
The Comp springs you have are supposed to be installed at 1.75" and that should provide 130 pounds at the seat. If the installed height is less than 1.75", the pressure is even higher. That spring is most likely designed for a cam with more lift than you have. Even if the installed height is 1.75", you are still exceeding the recomended open pressure by 85 pounds. I don't like that one bit....it's harder on the entire valvetrain than it needs to be.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the stock rockers in your app, but you must make sure everything is correct as a package. Any time you go mixing and matching parts you are tempting fate.
You really need to find out:
1>installed height
2>seat pressure
3>open pressure at 1.25"
and once you have that strait
4>correct pushrod length
