I think It may just be reversion them. Gonna have them re checked and see what happens. Just wondering if the new guide did not seal properly where salt is all stucvk around where they press through

machine shop that did the guide work said that the exhaust guides do not go through a water port and no tuliped valves so i thinking reversion is the issue. can anyone confirm thi,s that the guide does not go through a water port?

You need to talk to Foxwell Motorsports. He actually help develop the canfield head which is supposed to be really awesome. He can definitely help you with the head design question.
As far as the cam, you are probably experiencing reversion. Your cam LSA (lobe separation angle) should 112 to 116. Pending on setup.
