Check that the pushrods are all the same length and straight

assuming everything was setup correctly (especially valve clearances) i'd think it would be highly unusual for the valves to be stuck (closed) to such an extent that the mechanical forces of the camshaft lobes through the cam followers, pushrods and rockers would not be able to move them (without bending the pushrods)
if the pushrods are moving up and down as expected, but the valves themselves are not moving then the problem must be between the tops of the pushrods and the tops of the valves i.e the rocker assembly
have you gone through the process of setting the rocker-valve clearances ?

I was going to check clearances but the no 1 valves weren't moving at all
..quite possibly because the clearances haven't been set
