I reused the pushrods from my old set for my first test. To verify
compression I actually removed the pushrods from the two that had zero
compression readings. The reading only went up to about 25 psi, so even
when the valve should have been fully seated it wasn't getting good
compression readings.

Yeah, that's the problem. I'm pretty anal about this stuff, but I had
someone with me who "has done this before". I relied on his expertise too
much I guess. *sigh* (again)
