Well I want to thank everyone that tried to help, give me ideas of where to look for possible problems. Part1 is still on the old board and I don't feel the need to go find.

Turns out that the Teflon Valve seals were causing the problem. The exhaust guides were to tall and the spring retainers were beating the metal retaining ring of the valve seal into the exhaust valve guides. This was something I thought I measured, mayhe I measured it without the seal and determined I had plenty of room. So now I have enough room with the new valve guides to handle a .9 lift on the exhasut side. Its a good thing I had a hyd roller cam or I am pretty sure the cam would be toast as well. The intakes in case your wondering were fine had plety of room to spare there. Go figure. It should be up and running by the end of the week.

thanks again for everyones advice.
