Did you torque down the heads first and then set a straight edge on them and make sure they were dead level with each other?

any non-levelness will subject the cam tower to bend slightly jamming up your cams.

FWIW, my cams tightened up slightly after I torqued everything down. I could still turn them by hand, but they definitely tightened up.
