Default lifter wont bleed

Can someone help me out. Finishing up a cam change and just reinstalled the stock pushrods and rocker assembly to the rear cylinder, waited 20 minutes and everything is fine. Both pushrods are spinning freely. Rotated the engine so the front cylinder is all the way up and installed the pushrods. The front one has bled and spins freely, but the rear (closest to the engine) is still tight and won't spin. Its been about an hour. I've already taken the rocker assembly off and spun the motor and watched both lifters go up and down and made sure the cylinder was all the way up, reinstalled the rocker assembly and same results. Outside pushrod is fine the inside is tight and wont spin. Please need advice. I've already did a search and no luck....

Nevermind....took the rocker assembly off a third time. Re-did it again very carefully and after 20 minutes everything spun nicely.....
