Do you have the spark plug wires in the correct order: 1,4,3,2?

Did you actually rebuild the engine and change the cam or are you 
talking about something else? Try removing the valve covers and 
watching from each side while someone else turns the engine over with 
the starter, or, briefly, even while it's running. Look to see if you 
are gettin the same lift on the 1 and 3 valves that you are getting 
on 2 and 4.
