Debris under the cam caps / cams.
Mis torqed cam caps
Debris between the bucket and head
shim out of place
Cams mis timed and you have valve/ piston interference

Spark plugs out?

hawxter996

have you turned the crank while the chains are disconnected?
if so you probably have valve to piston interference.


eta..........open up your manual and follow the steps to the letter.........or throw the manual out the window and seek professional help.
sounds like you have it out of time.

Did you use some assembly lube when reassembling the cams?

Inadvertent swap of cams or caps?

I think we have a winner.

The cams are marked for intake and exhaust.
