You asked if the rocker should be retightened.... Did you tighten them to a certian point and stop or till they where tight?

Do you have bolt down rockers or stud mount? Sounds like its just lifters out of adjustment if your oil pressure is good at operating temps and the lifters you reused didn't tick in the last motor.
