New engine has loss of compression

It probably could have but there were some other problems that I found as I took things apart. The heads needed a valve job as well (ootb eddies) and the tops of the valves were wore funny as well. And the cam had excessive wear as well.

So it's essentially a few little things that needed to be fixed, I wish it was just the heads...

I hear you. It was more just for information is all. Carry on!
