i did a compression test on my 5.4 l 2000model f-150 engine after installing some hotcams extreme energy 274/278 i started getting a tic noise in the #6 cylinder i did a comp test and got 0plbs it didnt even pump up.. Could this be caused by the lash adjusters not priming to its fullest?

 

i took the heads off and the #6 cylinder had a valve slightly bent just enough not to seal.

 

Ouch, did it hit the piston?

 

yes i rolled the cam alittle to get it to correct timing about 1/4 turn to the mark without timing chain on it.. i figured it was a chance i shouldn't have taken but oh well...just gives me an excuse to tear it down and port and polish+ whatever else i can do to it without my wife fussing about it lol
