Default Interference nut and 10.660 pushrods 3/8 ball cup

I finally got the end stands and shims installed on the new shafts .. as I went thru setting all the cold lash I discovered the nuts on the rocker that broke the shaft (5 cylnder) on both intake and exhaust are weak on resistance..real weak on intake ..they are just not going to stay tight when the interference fit is loose..I would say they are loose as or more than a nylock nut...
soo what do or how do I find .. I don't think I even want to go to oversize nuts.. and my pushrods are the fat ones and long 10.660 I think with the cup..so do I have to change the pushrods now if I go to new rockers.. I think Summit sellls a set of new nuts for $45-50 .. but this rocker that broke the shaft had already been bushed .. it's the only one with a bronze bushing I believe?? I hate to piecemeal the motor but I already have endstands and stong shafts.. I would gladly go to Harland Sharp rockers if I don't have to get pushrods also..then if I get new pushrods , do I have to change the lifters..?
Thanks again.. It''s good to help the handicapped !!
