Hello i have a 95 Eclipse Gs about a month ago i was driving down the road and the engine dies :( i got to the timing belt and found out the water pump failed and siezed and snaped the belt. i figured that there would be valve damage but being optimistic i replaced the belt and pump and tried to start it up... obviously if it started i wouldnt be here LOL did a compression test on all four cylinders and got
#1 cylinder- 0
#2 cylinder- 40
#3 cylinder- 0
#4 cylinder- 0
So now i have to change the valves i personaly wanted to bring it to a shop but it was my fathers car before i got it and he loves the car and has always fixed everything himself so we have to do it :( i have looked online and havent been able to find any type of guide or anything... does anyone have any advise or know where i can get a guide?? thanx

IMOP, first thing to do is make sure you lined up the timming marks correctly. If not, then your compression reading will be bad.
