No CEL, so unlikely anything electrical. After last time with the crank sensor that and cams were the first things I checked.

I was kind of afraid of this actually. I think I may have bent valve(s) when I was putting on the timing belt and have low or very low compression on the driver side bank. To start with I mixed up the TDC mark and the timing belt installation mark. So what I thought was valve spring resistance was piston contact. I did not push very hard, but I guess it may have been hard enough.

I'll check compression in the AM.

If that is it, I get to decide to pull the motor again or swap the head in the car.
