heres the thing, my car was running fine but had a bad oil leak, so what i did was i replaced the cam seals, in order to do this, i had to take out the cams. when i took out the cam to replace the seal, the cam lobes damaged the seal on the way out. i know your supposed to take off the cam sprocket, but i tried everything and couldnt get the nut loosened. so what i did was get two other cams i had laying around with good seals and just switched them out in place of the old ones. so i put everything back together and go to crank the car. crank it and no start, ?!?! i did a compression test and the #2 and #3 cylinders read 0 compression, so i figured i somehow bent valves trying to loosen the cam gear nuts. so i take off the head to replace the "bent" valves and to my suprise they are fine, not bent at all. so what would cause the cylinders to have no compression?? the rings are good, i mean the car was running fine just before i changed out the cams/seals. i need opinions badddd to try to figure out whats up with the car..... any help would be appreciated.
thnx
