All the valves are new. That's the reason I'm confused. Can the head be bad and the person that rebuilt it didn't check it right or something.
I used 0.08 for intake and 0.10 for exhaust on the valve adjustment

Opened the valve cover and found that the first valve spring(next to timing chain) was missing the valve keepers that go inside the retainer were missing. The pieces were next to the spring. How bad...
