It may be just me, but the way the tie bar is setting on cylinder 8 does not look right to me. It kind of looks like the lifters are switched in the wrong holes. Take a mirror and light and make sure that the rollers are square to the cam on number 8. The bar should lie flat front to back at each lifter, and slope outboard to the exhaust lifter and inboard to the intake. The odd bank lifters look correct.
