I(f you had a timing belt break, you can bet on it.

replaced heads with junkyard heads after timing belt broke

You may have bent them putting the head on if you didn't have everything in the correct position or rotated the engine with the belt off..

Nothing will run under 100 PSI.
Make sure you have it in correct timing.
