Default Rocker arm loose

I have a rocker arm that is fully tightened down and it is still loose. I have checked the push rod and the valve and they are fine. Any ideas?

Strechted rocker arm bolt ??? I experienced this recently while assembling the rocker arms on my engine. The bolts (2 of them) would not torque to specs. So I grabbed two bolts from my other engine and everything was fine. Hope this helps.
