I had the the  same  experience when trying to bring my TR3 rebuilt  
engine to life...Turned out the counter locking nut on one of the  
exhaust valve push rods was not tightened properly, which caused it to  
slip out of its rocker arm socket, got bent, and thus failed to open  
the exhaust valve.
