i loosened off the poly lock to reinstall the push rod..i kept the set screw in place without turning it and screwed back down to zero lash..then turned another 3/4 turn till it stopped..so i assume thats where it was set to originally..

Did you install these rocker arms because of a problem, or just because ?
If just because, then you did not tighten the set screw correctly to lock it down.
Would be too much of a coincidence too.

Sounds like the poly lock backed off. I usually adjust the valve lash, tighten the set screw. Then, I give the 5/8 nut and set screw a 'squeak' turning both of them at the same time. Don't get crazy on them, but don't be a little girl either.
Something else to consider. I have seen the tops of rocker studs in pizz poor shape. The part where the set screw mates up against. The top of the stud needs to be flat, the set screw just holds better.
