Possibly could be a Cam issue...off a Tooth or something. As soon as you get the Timing Gears exposed, put #1 TDC, and take a pic before you pull it apart, let us see where it's at.

Well it's where it should be..

I don't know, I would jump into the Valve Train..I know it sucks to hear but atleast you know the Internals are correct, just make sure the OPTI goes on right.
