I have replace piston and rods. Cams and lifters with rockers. Engine runs but has 30 pounds compression on right bank and 130 on left bank. Any ideas on why?

Not familiar with your motor, but, are the rocker arms adjustable, or are there shims under the cam lobes? Try a compression leak down test to determine where your compression is escaping.

Motor has hydraulic adjusting lifters. Leak down showed nothing all 6 are the same it appears to be valve timing issue

You set up the chains wrong?

exactly which marks did you align on the right bank? The arrows will fuck you.
