Default Roller Tip Rockers

I just installed roller tip rockers on my '73 this week-end, problem is that they will not stay on the valve stem. I have center bolt heads on a 350. I know the valves are adjusted right, half turn after lash is all out. Anybody have this problem. They are summit brand !

Center bolt heads, like GM Vortec, require self aligning rocker arms.

If you have the vortec heads, you have to use the self aligning rocker arms.
