My mechanic was able to allocate another Cam shaft and will be installing this weekend. I'm hoping the valves aren't damaged...
Was this head warped and milled to straighten? Not a good idea for OVC engines as is upest camshaft bearing alignment.

Also I am not sure of the set up procedures for this engine but I belive it has variable valve timing. This may mean that your manual check by rotating the engine was fine staticly but when running at different RPMs the timing will change and possibly cause an interfearance.

Unfortunatly I am sorry to say, you did most likely bend a few valves.
