After a little bit of riding, the valves will actually stretch a little during break in, and cause all sort of issues from not sealing with the head. A poorly adjusted valve can cause all sorts of issues, including extremely low compression.

That's a great thought! I haven't checked the valves yet but I will do that after work today. Thanks for the suggestion!
