The valve lifters had not bleed off all the way just yet. this happens to me frequently when doing vw heads. Usually , just leaving the offending valve fully open for 20 minutes or so will do the trick ( this uses max valve spring pressure ) . The last 3 series BMW I did , took over 24 hours before I had all the valves closed, and could install the head. Glad you figured it out.
