Reassembled Engine - Zero Compression. valve Issue?
So the saga, continues...
...had my engine reassembled at a repair shop. they swear the timing is correct. they did NOT do a valve job nor replace the rings. the top end worked when i dropped it off.
so right now, across the board, i'm gettign ZERO compression (used gauge).
the shop suggested that the hydro-rockers needed to be bled.
i took them out and compressed each one until there was no more oil coming out of the little bleeder hole. put them back in.
same result.
it sounds like im starting the engine with no plugs in it. it spins up fine, but no kick....
there is spark coming to each plug wire, there is fuel on each one, the fluids are full, and vacuum hoses are all connected.
