Default adjustable rockers

So keep in mind im an old school smallblock guy building this ls1. I went with full adjustable roller rockers with studs n guide plates, but i am unhappy with the side to side motion of the rocker arms after i set them to zero lash. Anybody had this issue? When they are under pressure with cam lobe up the center and seem fine just seem theres excessive side to side motion at zero lash. Thanks Ross

Whose rockers? Why 0 lash and not 3/4 turn?

On a hyd roller its supposed to be a half turn past zero lash. THE SIDE TO SIDE MOTION IS NORMAL I BELIEVE. MINE DOES IT ALSO, BUT ITS MINIMAL
