Default Spinning pushrod

What will happen if you install your rockers and bolt them to 22 ft/lbs like required but can still somewhat turn the pushrod with your index finger. Then start the motor with the rockers like this? Help Will motor get screwed up?

as long as they don't have any up and down play they are ok. the pushrods actually spin as the motor runs. if the play is excesive it will probably go away agfter the lifter fills up. it may mamke some noise for a few seconds.

Thank God! I couldn't get it to tighten without going over the 22-24ft/lbs. With the shims.
