    You say you "completely" rebuilt the engine, but it doesn't sound like that. More like you freshened it up with rings and bearings. Did you have the block professionally machined? Did you have the heads redone?

    There are many degrees of "rebuilding" an engine, and if you didn't have the block and heads brought back to specs by machining there is your problem. A "completely" rebuilt engine would have the block hot tanked, new cam bearings installed, the head mating surface decked, the main bearing mating surfaces align bored, the cylinders bored enough to remove any wear and true them up, etc.
