Hi I've changed lifters, push rods and rockers on my 302 block that has a non adjustable rocker arms with positive stop studs, I've tightened them down in the correct sequence at 18 fp, now I've got little to no compression in most of my cylinders. Is this a common problem? And what can I do about it ?

Your pushrods are too long. You may be able to shim the rockers.
