Im trying to think outside the box here, I know its not likely but stranger things have happened.

I just got done tightening one rocker arm on my buddies vortec crate engine we installed a couple years ago. It was number 8 exhaust. We didnt touch the rockers during installation and everything looked perfect under the cover. Just that one rocker was loose, the nut just decided to back off that day. ???
Forgot to add pushrods to the list of brand new items with the cam swap. Everything I read said 7.8" pushrods when using Vortec heads with non-roller blocks. If I'm mistaken, please point me in the right direction. I would love for it to be that simple a fix.
