#6 cylinder

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.
