Jay, You've no doubt worked long and hard on this engine, not to mention the $$ outlaid. Don't give up!
That said, there's enough quirks to start a "what not to do when rebuilding the DOHC" sticky.
Best of luck, I wish I had some sage wisdom to impart... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
I'm not sure, but if there's an issue that is Clearwater's fault, you might be able to recoup some $$ from them.
