Naa I think I got it; after I adjusted my valves and it was the correct procedure according to Haines and I put all those cleaned parts back on it started and ran n sounded pretty good with the exception on a rocker clatter. I’m waiting for the battery to charge right now so I can crank her up again (fingers crossed). I’m prepared or the leak down if needed. And compression when done.

Check your oil. Is it the color of coffee with creamer in it? If so change your head gasket. If not I would double check all my hoses and radiator for cracks.

A leak down test consists of removing only one plug from one bank and checking for air to blow out throttle body right? I’ve heard of it but know nothing about it.

I kept them in exact order just as they came out. Also what would I be looking for if indeed I wind up having to remove the timing cover?

Forgive my ignorance please but
You are referring to the compression stroke which is the first upward stroke of the piston, right? Which is where both valves are closed (upright position)?Yes the valves are moving.
You mentioned the belt; you’re saying maybe the timing belt jumped? How can I tell?
Is it possible that maybe I accidentally switched heads?

Right. I did change the head gaskets and I never felt ANY compression on my finger when we were bumping the key til after I adjusted the valves
