valve train noise?

I have been back into the engine twice and readjusted the pedestal mount rockers 3 times. The valve train is still noisey. I have been on some Mustang forums and they keep saying the combination of stiff springs with aggresive cam profile are causing the noise and there is no way around it. I am considering removing the roller rockers and trying my stock rockers. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
