I'm going to post pictures of the new cam vs the old cam with the specs. Same with the heads. Everything in this motor is very very mild when this guy put it together. Honestly I can't believe I couldn't hear it when it was running.
Lucky it didn't blow up.

No valve reliefs, novice, (previous builder).

Valve to piston clearance needs to be checked at dummy build.

I'd fit a piston and rod WITH no rings, fit that head with light checking springs, set the lash, and roll the engine over to check VTPC.
Allow for compressed head gasket thickness.

I would also have the engine out on a stand.

And specs please, specs specs specs please..
