Man, it is NOT possible for valves to stick upon. Were the valves open when you had the head off?

Bottom line is, when the crank is set on time, you can rotate the cams around 360 degrees. If you can't do that, something is wrong. Also, if you did NOT pull the cam sprockets, and the crank is set on the mark, then you installed the belt making sure all 3 marks are correct.

Adjust the tensioner and rotor the crank over to insure everything is correct, easy roll over, no contact with valves. If that doesn't work for you, you probably need to tow the car somewhere to have it finished.

read what i sent after you said theres no way a valve could be stuck open!!!

Of course if the valves are bent it is possible for ALL to be stuck open.

I had 24 of them stuck open on a whiteblock 960 after a serpentine belt wrapped around the crank. That's my pic from 2011 here on MVS

What do you think caused the issue with your valve? Was it poorly fitted?

yesssssss the valve was stuck open!!!!!!!! the valve tappet or lifter or whatever you want to call it that the camshaft lobe hits to open the valve was stuck in open position and i liked to of never got that sucker back up out of there! i took a hammer and piece of wood and started hitting it over and over and it finally came unstuck and popped back up. i took it out and took some real fine emery cloth and cleaned it up and smoothed it up good now it works fine! so dont tell me that its impossible for a valve to stick open . i may be from tennessee but im not totally stupid!!!

So basically what you are saying is that you got the lifters wedged in (installed wrong) and stuck in the head?
