Didn't bleed lifters - 90 cold compression new engine

So I installed hks cams on the a new engine and was ignorant about bleeding lifters since the rre write up doesn't mention it. So I bleed them last night and waited until tonight to try again and still 90.

The car won't start from the low compression and cranking it by hand is pretty hard on the compression stroke with my 1/2 socket. So bent valves for sure? I'm going to verify timing is correct before pulling the damn thing apart.

Anything else it could be on an engine with 7 miles? I know it's low until the rings seal but this is way too low.

Argh...
