So nothing is wrong with the rockers themselves.... Just the bolt? Did the rockers come with the bolts or what

Push rods are straight rolled them on the table... It didn't happen on first start up I went to get a base tune so I could break the clutch in before the dyno tune got home went back out to the store came back home and started hearing the ticking
