take it back to your mechanic, and who and where did you go to? sounds like you need to find a new mechanic.

I've installed both the Greddy and Tomei rocker arm stoppers and never noticed any change in sound with either set.

He probably put them on with the little arms on the inside of the cams instead of the otside. Post a pic of the head with the V cover off.

So take em out, loosen all cam cap bolts and torque to spec using FSM. Re ass valve cover, start motor and check for the sound. If it is gone, then you are good. Sell the RAS if You redline at stock. It sounds like they dont work anyway.

Or try to put them back in re-torquing to spec and see if it still sounds like solids.
