What hp and torque am I making?

It is a good feeling to do stuff yourself- especially an engine when it comes to life. Congrats on your first build.

BTW did you have someone check the heads for you, especially valve stem to guide clearance? Curios because of the oil you mention on top of the piston.

Unfortunately no. That's where I went cheap on this. I was going to save up and get the heads reworked or buy another set of aftermarket heads. But I got impatient and wanted to get the cam broke in. Took a chance. Obviously this was the wrong thing to do. So now the engine is broke in and the engine runs pretty strong and sounds healthy. I will now save up to get new heads with the right springs for the cam.
