Bad CCT? I don't know if you took the cams out or not, but you may have to readjust your CCT if it's manual or if it's the stock hydrualic one, you might have to recharge it our whatever they call the process (see the service manual). I believe 90% of the folks here would recommend replacing the automatic one with the manual.

 

Well, I can tell you probably have some serious valve tap since you do not have the shims in the correct place. The valve caps do not matter. You need to get a manual and a gauge tool. Basically you are having to re-shim all the valves, not going to be fun, each valve is shimed different. The manual will tell you what yourvalves should be set at. You are going to look in the manual for valve adjustment.

Also, make sure your valve keepers are in place, with out them the valves will slap against the pistons. Carefull you can bend the valves if your shims or keepersare off or missing.
