Yup. Nice work...
the timing chain was installed way off. You bent just about every exh pushrod, and yeah, that is enough to mess up a brand new cam, because there is no oil/protection on it except the breakin stuff, and that got all squeezed out. I would tear it all down at least to the crank in the block and inspct it all. If someone missed the cam timing, chances are good there's other stuff too.
