Did you replace the stock push rods with hardened push rods? You may want to remove each push rod to see if one is bent. Damage may already be done but you will know which valve it is.Also, did you replace the valve springs with stronger ones? If by chance you went with 1.8 r/r you should put some blue thread lock tight on each rocker stud this will help prevent the studs from backing out. Then let it cure If you don't do this when you are adjusting the rocker You will tighten the roller rocker but the whole stud will move .You may think it is tight but it will seem to back out after restarting.
