I wish,  it's either a valve/valve seat contact issue or weak valve springs.

Did a leak down test, 20% leakage through the intake valves, pulled the head to see if I could lap them in but was not successful. The head is at the machine shop getting the valves and seats cut. Should only take a week or so. Then back to all the checks before dyno tuning.

I picked m head up from the machine shop. Final verdict is 4 slightly bent valves from unevely cut seats caused by the previous machine shop. They think the pervious shop's pilot may have been bent and the only reason it stayed sealed for so long is the pressure from my beefy valve springs. I re-shimmed all the solid lifter buckets last night, only took 2hrs this time. Gonna assemble the rest of the head tonight. My nephew has been taking auto shop and wanting to learn about cars so he's gonna help me get it back in and running this weekend. If we get done soon enough maybe ill have him hit the buttons on VE Analize live to get it in the ball park before the dyno tune.
