I have had the cambelt slip on a full zetec due to silly powder coated verniers and it never touched a valve because of how the piston sits in the cylinder .
this may sound daft, dummy build = put head on with the head bolts fully tightened? then turn the crank a few times???
Sorry if this makes me "sound a bit fik"
