Obviously the bore is too small or the plunger is too big.. .001-.0015 is the normal for clearance.. As Larry said.. Send them back.. I would go with S&S or HI-LIFT.. PM WFOLarry, I'm sure he'll set you up..

Soak the new ones overnight in a cup of oil, helps on virgin installs.

Don`t bother soaking them, just get a pump oil can and pump them full.
