Well put together using the holes in cam as timing marks yeah don't ask moment of stupidity it didn't fire realised my mistake re timed it was running great then a lot of rattling I inspected and cylinder 2 inlet valve 2 shim and collects were off and valve stuck 2|3ds up I'm hoping it's a misfire caused it and quick fix second hand head... But until I remove the head tomorrow at a loss just hoping I don't need a new engine.. One out of sixteen isn't bad for me lol

Tried taking left head off last night 3 bolts slightly rounded. Did some digging and seems the manual us wrong on timing says to time all four cams together when in fact not to right side first then turn crank then install and time left cams so hopefully there's no damage awaiting post man to bring some sockets tommorow
