may i ask why cam caps are important?  i mean i can take the ones of mine and put it on that one right?  or are they like non interchangable?  just wondering.  I'm pretty sure it comes with the cam caps but ill ask him just to make sure 100%
My money is on bent valves, with probably some piston damage, how many times did you try to crank it? Cause if it cranked multiple times you probably had a valve wedge the piston from moving (not good).
The other option is what is the headgasket made of? Im assuming you used a new one...What did you torque it to?
Also did you perform the test correctly? Possibly a chunk of the tool (o-ring) get stuck down a spark plug hole? How does the motor sound when testing? (air coming out other holes?)
Do a leakdown test, or just rip it off, and keep us posted.
FYI, its not recommended to swap cam caps, just like its not recommended to swap main caps and so forth.
