This can/will happen if rod and rocker have been installed while the motor was not clocked.

You have to find why now. A WAG now would be weak spring or sticky valve.
Was it intake or exhaust? Odds are ex.

it was the exhaust side and the pushrod was hitting up against something making a knocking noise, what else could cause this?? would it just be loose? how do you check the spring or sticky valve? can i just push on it or anything?? would i have to take the whole head off if it needs a valve replacement? i would assume yes...
