Either valves are not set properly or a valve guide has moved. We need to know the exact model numbers from the engine. The numbers you posted make our helping you more difficult.

It is so rare that they post the model number we sometimes miss it when they do.

First that is not a complete model number, the code should have 4 digits. Second as I said you need to check the valve clearance and if it is correct then look at the valve guides. The one that keeps loosing the rod may have moved, allowing the rocker arm to come in contact with the guide.

Rivet,
one more question. Is there an adjustment on the rocker arm where I might be able to tighten it just a bit so it won't jump off.?
