Compression on dohc zc???

[turboprelude95]

I have a motor that sat for a year or two, never ran it, bought it for cheap. Decided to put a little bit of oil in each cylinder before compression test. I made sure that it had a good oil level. I put the compression tester in each cylinder to get same result 0. Motor cranks over nice and smoothm, no wierd noises but i noticed that the timing belt is a little loose. I opened the valve cover and it looks like new as well as the motor itself. No matter how messed up a motor may be, should it have some compression atleast? Any ideas??

You are doing something wrong... You shouldn't get 0. It doesn't run?

sure the motor is on top dead center?

The year or so that i hasd it never touched it. I know that the head is on tdc but not sure about block. but like i said timing belt looks a bit loose

well get the timing marks back on and retension the belt and recheck

only time i had o comp was when timing was off
