Default My cam ATE my head

I just got done doing valve stem seals with the head still on the car. I put everything together and my exhaust cam ended up being too tight or something and it ate away at my head destroying itself in the process (except for the first and last caps). I mixed up some rocker arms, but that shouldnt have mattered when all said and done. All the caps were the right way/same place, moly lubed and all torqued to 15lbs. The car ran fine before. All I can think is for some reason it got too tight when I installed it and once the oil feed holes in the cam bearings got blocked up that was it. So now I might have bent valves since she jumped one tooth when it stalled; or Im an idiot and the rocker arms did matter How embarassing, nothing like this has happened before.
