my car was driving fine when i parked it and i want back out to leave and it would not start checked every thing i could it was all fine till i checked the compression cyclinders 1 = 0psi
2 = 130psi 3= 130psi 4 = 0 psi does any one know what is going on with it :beatentodeath:
 
no its not that caz i just had the timing done and new valves put in my friend thinks i maybe the pistion rings
 
Put some oil in the cylinders and see if that changes the readings any. That will tell you if the rings are a major factor. But then again having zero on 2 cylinders after it ran fine im thinking valves.
 
Just because youve had a new T-belt installed dosent mean it couldnt of jumped time the tensoiner could be bad or not enough tension on the belt, I doubt its rings with 2 cylinders having 0psi.
 
well all the stuff for the timing is new the head is new also before the new head was put on it was off for like a mouth and a half and the two pistons in the middle where at top dead center and 1 and 4 where all the way down but it ran fine till now
