Pedastal Rockers Too Tight????

I installed a det of 1.72 Scorpian Rockers on a 94 GT 5.0L with a F303 cam. The piston to
Valve clearance was fine. But now It sounds as if no oil is getting up-top. Also installed are high lift Valve covers and Guideplates.

I wasn't using the factory rail used to tie the two rockers together, it caused the rockers to walk to the side . The noise was the pushrods (all ruined) rubbing the guide plates.
