How sure are you the valve timming is correct??

I'd pull the upper timing cover (the one that covers the the 2 sprockets) and recheck the marks on both sprockets are align with cover marks and with crank at TDC. (Just need to pull back engough to see marks)

Easy enough to do and lets you sleep at night.

Anyway - now its time to watch the 49er game!
