Well, it's my turn to ask for suggestions..

*Good News* - All the rockers moved exactly the same and looked totally normal. I removed the plugs and turned the engine over watching each rocker - all 16. So, I think I can rule out a wiped out lobe. :) I didn't use a measuring device, but every rocker well compressed the valve spring and by eye equally.
ALSO, here is a picture of what all the spark plugs looked like. Next is the timing chain. What are the suspicions of a faulty chain????? I put a Mellings double roller in it that offers the advance/retard timing of 4* or straight up. I used the straight up.
