Well they would have to be pretty damn long or short to actually be sliding off the edges of the valvespring. But with no other solid leads it wouldn't hurt to check. You can clean off the tip of the valve stem and rocker. Put a good coat of Sharpie ink on the valvestem and reinstall the rocker. Turn it over a few times and see where the rocker tip is making contact.
