Changing the lifters likely changed that.
Pop the valve covers off and check all the rockers are moving the same.

 This! And I'll add checking with your eyeball is a crude method, use a dial indicator to measure the lift! Only then can you rest assured that all lobes are good, it only takes one bad lifter to wipe out it's lobe. I've had out of the box lifters that failed to pump up because they were failing to collapse presenting zero preload! The Asian machining processes are questionable at best and should never be trusted!
