I have installed a set of Cobra pedestal mount rolloer rockers and I'm getting a ticking noise from the no. 5 or 6 cylinder. I put in new lifters at the same time. I have tried readjusting them a couple times and even massged the baffle in the valve cover to make sure there is no contact. The sound is the loudest at idle and fades with rpms what could it be?
