I installed the timing chain dot to dot and spun it by hand once to ensure they'd still match up.

This is a red flag to me. How did you install the timing chain? Did you degree it? (I hope so.....)

Please describe your build. Adjustable rockers? Solid cam or hydro? Block or head milled? Did you measure the push rod length?
