The later model EFI 4.9's don't have rocker studs, they have a pedestal that bolts down to the head. I don't think I've ever seen one loose. They are either tight or the bolt is broken off.

I had an older one with studs, and I had a problem forever with 2 of the rockers working loose. Just try to get them set and jam the adjuster nut and the lock nut togther as tight as you can
