Did you roll test them on a flat surface...sheet of glass, etc.? Hard to check for bent pushrods visually otherwise.

Bent pushrods cause ticking noise. They flex and unload the lifter.

If you have a trashed rocker that will cause noise also. Worn out trunnion, or galled surface at the valvestem contact patch.
