Thanks to JustinVanabrahams' sound advise. I pulled the Cam shafts and did a 4 cylinder leak-down test.
Bad News: Exhaust valves bent at cylinder #1 (w/ 90% leakage)
Looks like I'll be taking the head off.
Good News: I may get out fairly cheap on this. seeing as how the head was just rebuilt no less than 400 miles ago. May just need the two valve replaced. Plus the cost of the gaskets (head gasket, manifolds, other random bits).
Also, this will give me another chance to put some proper sealant around that oil return passage at the rear of the cylinder head where it meets the engine block (they do like to seep oil there don't they).
I'm I forgetting anything?
...oh, yes! O.E. Cam sprockets are going back on too ;)
