What wrong with my setup?

I just got real serious about getting into the tens so I had a block built just like the Intense race ready shortblock added a Stattama stage 2 turbo cam, ZZP stage 3 heads, Comp Cams 1.7 ratio pro magnum rockers, and comp cams 6.950 pushrods and now I have a seruious tick from idel to 2000rpms and I don't know what to do to fix it and need input? I already pulles it apart and upgraded stock lifter to Comp Cams oe-r series but I am unsure how to check lifter preload but I would assume since they are non-adjustable rocker is would be right andbody have any similar problem that can shed some light on this?

tha tick is common beleive it or not.

it could be something as simple as a loose tensioner or as difficult as a spun bearing.

someone who has experience with this motor in your area should check it out for you, kinda hard to figure out noises online

How does your oil pressure look?

60psi when cold, or around 40 at idel when warm

I'm probably wrong here but with the non adjustable rockers don't you keep with the standard length push rods ? The 7.050" length.
