Recheck cam Timing....... Is it popping out the exhaust or intake?

Roller rockers are hitting the webbing in the upper covers. Check compression to verify but that's most likely the issue.

We checked the timing marks on the cams and crank that looks good but will check timing with timing lite to see if there is a cam issue thank you

This is your problem.. Bet JB got it right.. Need to remove the web right above the valve.. Roller hits right there.. Heck Loosen the top covers and see if it starts..

That may be what is going on went to larger lift cams so the rollers just maybe hitting the webbing thank you Max..

What about it? Need compression to generate spark and deliver fuel.
