Exclamation no power

a friend of mine has a 99 24 valve and he had the head off and had it plained. when he put it all back together, the truck has no power at all. it has a lot of trouble picking up rpms and barely builds any boost. if he adjusted the valves wrong, like all of them were adjusted when it was on TDC, instead of rollin it 180, could he have bent any valves or push rods or something? i told him to re-run the valves the proper way. and it helped a little bit but it is very very slow and gutless. please give me your thoughts cause im not sure if the clearance on these motor would allow it to bend anything.
