Maybe you tightened down the rockers too far. I did that once after rebuilding a chevy six cylinder. I didn't check the compression, but it didn't run very well until I loosened up the rockers.

Weird , somehow the compression is leaking out somewhere.

Try adjusting the rockers and see if that helps.
