Something went wrong during the install. Take a compression test for more information and confirmation. I suspect bent valve(s)

Kinda was my thaught to  u wouldn’t happen to no what the pressure is suppose to b.guess il have to go get some heat out in garage n start looking into it thanks

Check your cam timing. Probably off a tooth. On pinion to rear cam and or front to rear cam.

Did you get the push rods in their proper place. Intake and exhausts may be of different lengths.

All good advice above (imo). Also, if the EX valve is not opening properly (compression test) it will pop
out the breather too.

Compression check first. Then go from there. Maybe a tooth off, or PR re-adjustment. is in order.

(JMO. But what do I know?) Generally, the compression should be around 150-180# give or take
depending on different things. Don't forget to hold the throttle open and disable the fuel pump
when doing it.

I recommend a compression check first

What did it turn out to be?
