How loose is it? There is supposed to be some play in the rockers. SOME play. Did you pull the head to replace the valve?? There is a sequence to tightening the rockers and different ways to do it, search it!

Yes I used the correct sequence when torquing the rockers. I know some will have some minor play but this rocker has A LOT of play I was thinking maybe the lifter was bad, but the pushrod was moving up and down so can the lifter be bad if its still moving?
