If the studs are press in, then you can also tap on the top of the stud to ensure they're seated all the way. (I forget if they're screw in or press in studs). You could also check for a bent pushrod. (aside from Oldsguy's collapsed lifter thought). I've also seen on fresh guides on rebuilt heads that they are a little tight and hang slightly, which in time will go away. Does it idle rough or have a noticeable miss? If not, just live with it if you can.
