Update to my compression problem below

First I appreciate any members who gave me suggestions with my head and compression problems below. I am happy to say that I found the problem and got it running tonight.
The problem: The camshafts were switched. It started right up after I switched to the proper sides.
How? When I took my head to the shop, I left the camshafts on it. When I got it back, of course the shop had taken them off. However, they put them back on wrong. They put the exhaust cam on the intake side.
Of course I can't prove that because they will say I mixed them up. But I know I didn't.
Moral of the story: Don't trust a shop to put things back on right. I should have marked things before I took it in.
What I am going to do? Have a talk with the shop owner tomorrow because it cost me a bunch of time, money, sweat and worry.
