Cylinder #1 low power ? 1800

Hi.

Just started my motor for the first time after a rebuild. It started and seems to run OK. After breaking in the cam I took it out for a little spin. I noticed the header on #1 cylinder pipe did not get as hot as the rest. I took an IR thermometer and if the rest are 600 deg F. #1 is 200 deg at best. I disconnected the fan for a bit thinking it may be cooling the pipe better than the rest but it made no differnce. I have rechecked the valve clearance and injector spray, injector grounds, injector pulse with an Oscope, spark, leakdown etc. Changed plug, wire, rotor, cap, timing is 15 btdc . What could cause this and not be effecting the other 3 cylinders,???. Any ideas would be welcome. I can not figure it out and am out of things to try.
