Hate to say it but it sounds like the the cam is not timed properly.

Check cam timing.

I'm sure I checked the marks 3 times . I sure the marks lined up perfect.I have good compression in both cyl.Could it be a bent valve or weak spring.i guess I pulling it back down to ck the marks,one more time.Any other way to tell for sure.
