I am thankful that it appears that this did not cause any serious damage, other than two of the studs are a bit chewed on, and I will be putting the motor back together and hopefully be racing again soon. Thanks to all for your thoughts and input. Drag on my Pontiac brothers.

This is a wrong statement.
DO NOT RUN ALUMINUM ROCKERS WITH A SOLID ROLLER CAM. Nothing wrong with Aluminum rockers and roller cams. Have been doing it for 35 plus years and NOT ONE ISSUE other then a pin coming out of a well used set of Crane rockers. Fords, Mopars, Chevies, Caddy, Olds, the list goes on. And hundreds of short track Late model engines with thousands of laps.
There is only 2 reasons your having an issue.
#1: there is something wrong with your valvetrain or geometry
#2: The quality of the Brand or casting of the rocker isn't up to what you are trying to do.
