Exclamation rocker arms Help

I just replaced my heads, and now I need some help w/ putting back on the rocker arms. When I took the rocker arms off everything went great, now that I'm ready to put them back on, the pass side fits back on just as the day i took it off. Drivers side is not fitting/sitting on the rods and springs very well. Everything is all loose and sloppy. It looks as if I WERE to tighten the drivers side rocker arm down that there will be alot of play in some of the rods and and some of the valves won't touch the arms either. I gotta get this truck running b4 the end of the week end.
Thanks,
Chris

we do deal with alot of different engines here so some bit of info on the truck would benefit since we have alot of people with different trucks. i would make a signature for your profile and place your trucks info there. like mine signature. don't no how to do that you go to your control panel top of page.

are you sure your lifters are placed right??? causing some of your pushrods to get out of place, or do you know for sure if your pushrods bent???
