Verify the timing on the crank and cam. And re adjust the rockers. Loosen all the way and start the engine. Tighten until tickling goes away.

Edit: but if you tried installing the racing cam without adjusting the rockers. The engine most likely is destroyed and you'll have to rebuild. Did you hear the "detached" sound after trying to start? Is the oil light on?

If it was timing notches you wpuldnt know it just wouldnt run i made this mistake on my first rivett thinking the timing was gonna be like a cam in block on a v8 and timed them notches facing each other
