I have no compression

[SmokeyGST]

I just performed an engine rebuild and i am getting from cyl.#1-4 40-30-0-50 on the compression check. When i try and start it . You can hear it just spin freely no normal starting tones.

I replaced the rings(angled the end gaps apart from each other) and cross hatched the cylinder walls

hand tightened the ARP studs into the block applied the moly lube to the stud and put the washer and bolt on torqued to 81 lbs in increments of 20 using the correct pattern.

I used a mitsu 4 layer metal head gasket with hylomar sealant applied on both sides

I aligned the timing correctly used the timing marks in the valleys of the cam gear to line it up right.

The head is a rebuilt stage 1 head from BJs cylinder head it includes valves and cams.

where should i start for finding a way to correct this problem.

Did you do a leakdown test?

Not yet i am hoping i can rent one from somewhere. I am really hoping its not the head gasket..but those numbers really make it feel like that,

when assembling the block did you coat the rings with oil and wipe the cyl walls with oil??? if not you might not be getting enough compression because you need lubrication on the cyl walls ...double check timing marks , definatley cyl leak down test it will show you where the compression has gone.........
