I've had a rocker arm roll out of place when mating the cam carrier on. Everything went together but the car ran extremely rough. Compression test found zero on the one cylinder. Anyways maybe you had the same thing happen? Luckily I was able to snap it back in place with only the valve cover off.

found the problem kerandt was right rocker arm came out after the motor sitting for almost 10 years spring was sticky very slow return after cleaning it out and manual crank spins to slow bump start she works great again and another rocker arm tried coming out due to same reasons but stayed in slightly crooked holding valve slightly open but all is fixed thanks for the replies guys
