All of them at the same time? I don't think I understand the question/problem. Could you elaborate?

What did you torque the rockers too? How did you do it? We need to know more, because it is possible to crank them down too far and the plunger in the lifter will bottom out. Or is it you can't torque them down at all?

Well we have tightened them down, let them sit, and the lifter collapsed (so far). Any one else ever had this problem? Wish me luck!
