Default Low Compression

Hey guys, I just did an lsvtec conversion on my 2000 integra. I used a 99 gsr head, and now that the head is on I did a compression test and i got 120 through all four. Checked the cam clearances and the were fine. Now when the car starts its fine but as soon as the engine gets to operating temp and I am at a complete stop the engine stalls. I am going to remove the head and have an angle job done as I feel the compression is leaking thru the valves.

Any other troubleshooting tips or ideas?

x3 on the leakdown test, what was your compression before the head swap?

Cylinder leakdown or if not, a wet compression test. And try giving it a good valve adjustment. Do both BEFORE you tear anything apart.
