Supercuda chiming in on Cuda Hunter's nickel again. This doesn't sound like a wiped cam lobe, especially if the measurements of comparable cam lobes (exhaust/exhaust, intake/intake) is within a few thousandths of an inch (.005"). As this is a fresh engine, it would have been a good idea to do a leakdown test before teardown, to determine where the compression loss was. Since it's torn down now, the thing to do is to check the torn-down components. Are the ring gaps lined up? This can cause the problem you are having. as well as a failed head gasket or cylinder head casting. If you used the original head bolts, one of those could be suspect, also. The wear on the rocker arms is normal, and the cam lobe wear does not look like it's out of the normal range either, but measurement of the lobes for both base circle and lobe lift would tell you more. Specifications aren't necessary, just careful comparison of the cam lobes. I hope this is helpful to you.
