304 with valve problem

My 304 is running on 7 cylinders, #1 plug is firing, but not cooking the mix. I pulled the cover off, and fired it up, and lo..... the tappets not moving on #1 hole. No noise ever when running. Engine has less than 1000 miles on the rebuild. I let it sit in storage for long periods of time. Could it be bad lifters, or just need to adjust the nuts on tappets holding them in place. I rolled the push rods in place, and they don't feel bent. Tappets are really loose, and the others are tight. Any help is welcome. Thanks.
