OK so I have another post about having a cyl with no c0mpression. Diagnosis was a burnt valve which i replace. upon redoing my belt timing (which I have never done on a DSM) It wont start so I check my compression again and it appears i dont have any. I lined up everything and rotated it over by hand several rotations. and nothing hit.

So my thing is I may have it off a tooth, if I do is it possible not to hit the pistons and also not build any compression?
 
I dont know if they are bent i had to go to work but i had it running and i pulled an injector to see if what sounded like a slight miss and after it stalled it wont start up. So i did another comp check and i am back to 0 again again it was running. Thinking i have a bad conp tester
 
Well anything is possible, make sure your doing the compression test right get you a timing cover like mentioned before or your asking for problems. Hope you replaced all timing components since you were there to prevent any timing mishaps, down the road.
 
GOT IT RUNNING but now I have a bad GM MAF translator. (got it wet when filling the coolant cap back up with water:ohdamn:
