thats the point I was leaning to I've seen many ppl make stupid mistakes like that

and to sk8rmike to literally have 0 compression across the board something would to have obviously/visibly gone wrong, he didnt mention smoke, leaks any rattling (seriously bent valves) so I ignored his 0 compression comment. I've seen ppl try and use cylinder leak down testers and complain about no compression. So why dont you leave all options open to him and remind him what to check instead of coming out of your mouth and telling me what to do.

Just for shits and giggles how did you run your compression test and what tester did you use?
