As I mentioned before those pushrods will chew themselves up when you combine them with those comp rockers arms you used.

It is required to have a good quality hardened pushrod when using those rockers or they will chew up the pushrods. There used to be a warning about it in the paperwork when you buy those rockers.

Without going back and looking at your pics I'll take a wild guess that the pushrods you had chewed up were all on the rocker arm side and the lifter side was fine. Ask me how I know, I've been down this road before with those rockers arms. They do not mix with cheap pushrods.
