If you’re torquing the rocker nuts down to 20 ft/lb onto the tapered stop on the stud as per factory specifications then there’s definitely the possibility that some of the valves aren’t fully closing.

I would buy a set of ARP BB Chevy rocker studs (7-16-20 UNF top threads and 7/16-14 UNC bottom) and some polylock nuts and make the valvetrain not only fully adjustable but much more stable and durable.

The 60240 is a very good cam choice for your application, just make everything else right and you’ll reap the benefits.
