Did you have the engine checked for cracks? straightness?
I am trying to figure out what you did here:
"Can someone tell me if there is anything special about pedestal installation, what I did was clamp center pedestal in vice and twist off the two outer pedestals to replace the rocker arms."
What?
Oil pressure looks good
Which pushrods where mushroomed the new ones?
I also replaced all the rockers when I replaced the heads, & IIRC I just clamped one of the pedestals in the bench vise, drove out the roll pin from one end & removed all the pieces & reinstalled in reverse order with the new rockers.
