Angry Cam swap, Now knock. problem!!!

Well I swaped the cam in my 1994 f150 302, and i noticed a slight knock os i took the driverside valve cover off and a rocker was loose but the bolt was tight. i thought it was a bad lifter until I started turning it by hand and checked the others. when the lifter is down they are loose?

Exactly what cam did you install?

Are the pushrods still straight?
