Hello thanks for the reply
So my shop tech mistakenly mixed the valves up when reinstalling them,
The valve dimensions are very similar
So the exhaust valves went into the intake seat causing all the valves to be open when we bolted the rocker down,
Had to remove the head to correct it!
Thought I seen everything!
Thanks and happy holidays

Hi there,
set cylinder at TDC on compression stroke and do a cylinder leak down test, I bet one of the valves would be open.
