Help with valve train ticking

[bosco]

posting for a friend:
I just put a set of the Crane 1.7'rr on my car with a E-303 cam. I cant seem to get rid of this ticking noise. I had to shim a couple of rockers but thats normal correct. My other question since they are pedistal mount is there way that i can use polylocks to keep them adjusted correctly. Do I need to use pushrod guide plates with the rockers instead to the "saddle" that comes stock. Any of your unput is greatly appreciated as I am at my whits end.
