Ok was finally able to check the piston to valve clearence and found out the exhaust valve hit the piston. This is without the gasket by the way and the intake barely hit when I spun it the other way... I checked the lift on the cam with a dial indicator to make sure the cam is what it is, and I got .302 intake and .316 exhaust, multiplied that by the rocker arm ratio and got .483/505 . So that’s off a little but this is got me wondering. The piston is .049 in the hole too. I did advance the cam on the crank 4 degrees but I never did degree the cam which looking back now I should of.
