Ticking in the valve train

It has been quite the hassle but I will post an update so other people can learn from my mistakes! First off I took the roller rockers off and had the spring pocket milled down about an 1/8 inch. That solved that problem. The next issue was my push rods where too long. I ordered a set that you cut and press yourself and NO machineshop in my area would touch them!!! So I took them to my uncle (who's a machinist) he cut and pressed the first cup on and split the other end of the pushrod! So that was about $130 down the drain. After that I printed off a order form for smith brothers and sent it in. Got the new ones in about a week and they are perfect and smith brothers service was great!! Now I have everything back together and went threw the break in process an re adjusted the valves and she sounds beautiful! Thanks everybody for the input hope you can learn from my mistakes!!
