I will try to determine if one rocker is louder than the others.
I suppose there should be a consistent noise coming from each rocker arm.
Are roller rockers available that bolt in place of the stock rockers without machining, studs, etc?
Regarding the stand, it works quite well. It does not shake or move. It has allowed me to readily work through the rebuild process on this engine and take care of details that may be difficult to address once it is in the car. It was very inexpensive to build (mostly scrap lumber) and the $30 radiator from CraigsList came with the hoses you see. The radiator is for a 1999 GMC pickup. There is not much that I would change next time around.
