what type of rockers are you using are they rollers or stock stamped ones long slot stamped ones etc. in other words is the slot in the rocker hitting the rocker stud? if it is thats likely why it pulled out. in any case i think your best bet is to pull the heads and have screw in studs put in even if its not binding up if one lets go the rest are likely not far behind, and thats damage you just dont want.
