Default oil shooting out of 3 rocker arms in idle?!?

i had bought a used motor that was recently rebuilt from a buddy last week and got the motor in the car over the weekend. but when i went to adjust the valves , on the driver side, 3 rocker arms were just spewing oil out in idle. i have never seen anything like it and was curious what everyones opinions are about the cause of it. it basically shoots out as if i had the motor reved, but is in idle .it is only those 3 . everything else is fine with the motor.

I think that has something to do with the valve being to tight.

yeah thats what i thought when i went to adjust them.i adjusted them and still those three were squirting a massive amount up in the air. i mean it was like looking at a water hose shooting water in the air lol. but anyways no problems with the motor itself so i guess i shouldnt worry about it.
