This ones easy....
I don't think you did anything wrong. The threads that hold the rocker arms in place strip in the head from fatigue(they are aluminum). Buy a helicoil or timesert set and fix it. If you did the head ... I'm sure you can install the inserts without nessary warnings of being careful not to leave stray chips behind. Michael

If you machined the head, did you replace the valve shim pads? If you didn't, the lifters are probably operating out of their normal range of operation.

Hi and thanks for writing
Hi Mespe all the valves are getting oil.
Hi Samiam4 That could be it? Do you or anybody know what the correct intake and exhaust clearances are that would be a great help. Thanks for reading, Rich_ie

Hi Autozen
Yes the head was machined the rockers ride on the over head cam no lifters do I still need shims?  If so what are the valve clearances so I know what size shims to get?  Do the shims go under the rocker on top of the valve stem?  Thanks for reading, Rich_ie

It was the lifters
It was the lifters I think after they cleaned the head something was blocking or stuck in the lifters 3 of them so I just tap on them with small wrench and she runs like a champ.
Thanks to all who wrote back, Rich_ie
