Maybe not having any pre-load on the lifters is causing the bleed out?
Also how do i pre-load the the valves that are loose? New rockers? Longer push rods?
thanks for your help

Stock long block 165K Miles
Is it a stock top end, heads, cam and rockers? If so, there should not be any play between the rockers and valve.
