When the rockers were bolted down, were the plungers collapsed? If your pushrods are a bit too long there might be enough 'slack' in the plunger travel to hide it when there's no oil pressure.

A compression test (not a leakdown) will show that. If your compression test is low when the rockers are bolted down and higher when you back off the bolts holding the rockers down, that means you have too much preload.
