A:  Your narrative description is difficult to read and understand.

I recommend performing a compression test followed with a leak-down tst to determine the sealing properties of the combustion chambers (condition of the engine).

These tests will also serve as a quality of work check reference the machine shop's work.

Depending upon the results of the tests, I would make necessary repairs or continue troubleshooting. Need to know if cylinder compression is within service limits first. If so, check and adjust valve clearances.
