tried to start it up, it would try to start and then backfire through carb. did compression test and it was 90, backed the rocker arm bolt out a little and did another compression test. jumped up to 140. seems like the valves are staying slightly open. looks like i gotta shim the rockers.

I was going to post "don't do it!" when you said you were going to assemble it without shims. Guess you figured that out already - lol.
