1. Did you re-install all 4 pistons with good rings and liners? If you re-used the old liners and rings, at the very minimum you should have made sure they all went back in the same holes they came out. 2. Did you use a new head gasket? Is the head torqued properly? 3. When you had the head off, did you check the valves and pistons for signs of damage (after the incident with bad cam timing)? Since you had compression on 2 & 3 (was it good, or weak?), here is what I would try next: Remove the valve cover and spark plugs. Put a large wrench on the crankshaft nut. Turn the engine very slowly and watch the action of the valves (all you can see is rocker arms, valve stems, and push rod). Starting at #1 cylinder, make sure all of the valves are being opened correctly. This is the order of opening for 2 revolutions of the crank: #1 Int and #3 Exh #3 Int and #4 Exh #4 Int and #2 Exh #2 Int and #1 Exh If it becomes more difficult to turn the crank, note which valves are being opened/closed. Check that the valves close fully after being opened. Check the valve lash (.014 Hot). It should be apparent if you have valves stuck open, especially on #1 and #4. If you find valve problems, you need to rebuild the valve train/head.
