To check piston to valve clearance with a hydraulic cam you need a very light spring on the valves. If you just turned the motor over with regular valve springs you collapsed the lifter and your measurements are no where near correct.

Hey oso frends...found some light springs for my valves..Did the piston/valve messuring again and i got 0.236 inc gap.Since you told me it should be around 0.100 could it be that my crank is in retard...? Thank you

I'm not sure where this thread took a turn, but before this valve clearance and light spring thing took place, we where talking about your cam probably installed wrong.
Or maybe I took a wrong turn. I can't remember. So many people with problems now a days. LOL.
Did or did you not have a multi keyway timing set ? Did or did you not check your cam timing with degree wheel set up.
Sorry if I'm behind.

the intake valve is hitting the piston.Then i found another 0 mark and i put it like this

The timing set is installed correctly. The keyway on the crank is not supposed to line up with the dot on the cam gear. If you put the 0 on the keyway, then you use the 0 on the crank gear to line up with the dot on the cam gear.
