I may be wrong (imagine that) but I feel there is something missing. If you look at one of these videos you will see that there is a u shaped piece that goes between the rocker assembly and the head. I am not seeing this in your pic.

Mike makes a good point. Are the bolts physically backing out, or are the rockers loose?

Looks like Yoohoo!Not sure about your rockers but the oil puddled in the rocker in the first pic looks a little off.
The bolts are physically backing out
I did it how you told me too last night, started tdc of cylinder 1 on compression stroke and tightened to 20ft pounds, and then just followed my firing order around, double checked through the order once more and then ran the car for 10 mins. Seems to run really good (besides doing the timing) cable train stayed quiet the whole timeI don't believe a bad cam would cause them to back out. Did you use the procedure I listed to tighten them?
If you do it with the valve open, the valve springs and the spring in the lifter will absorb some of the torque load and give you a false reading.

Oh no. That's best taken care of before the engine goes in. Much easier to drop the pan, install the timing cover with new gaskets, then the one piece oil pan gasket and pan. I did mine in the car last year. It sucked. If you get to that point there's help to be had.Might be premature cause I'd like to run the car a little longer but I just want to thank everyone for the help, I really appreciate it ! Now on to the next issue. Coolant looks like its coming from the timing chain cover
Haha I didn't know the seal was bad before I put it in the car ! Pretty bummed out on itOh no. That's best taken care of before the engine goes in.
