what kind of rockers are you using?

Possibly its just that your lifters arent pumped up.They bleed down when they sit for a while.

Crank it with the VC off and make sure they tighten up. Like already mentioned your lifters are lack of better word, flat.

Sounds like your adjustments are out. Is there any shims under the pedestals?

could be stock pushrods are too short too might need a pushrod lenght tool to meaaure the right size
