Valve/Piston Contact Post-Cam Installation

[sapote]

Even without a proper timing bridge tool, one should be able to tell if the cams were wrongly timed by set the crank at TDC compression, and both cams timing holes should relatively point up straight parallel with the cylinders. Might be the crank was set at TDC but on exhaust stroke (180 deg wrong for the cams) instead of compression, then the timing bridge pin will check out perfect but 180 deg off and bent valves. For sure this happened with the starter cranking.

Timing is definitely not set correctly, but that could manifest from a couple of steps that may not have been done properly during the installation procedure. It would help everyone responding if we knew exactly how you installed these.
