hey guys, got a major head f**k, need as much help as quick as possible

well i found a buyer for my hr but he is in adelaide so being the generous person i am decided i will take the car to him got 100km's from home and the timming belt idler let go, so snapped timming belt ect ect, towed it back home again and put a new belt on and new idler's but when u turn the car over it has no compression what so ever, i have made some phone calls and had a look at the head i have here as a spare and the engine from what we can tell it is a free running engine meaning that if a belt does break the pistons wont hit the valves, as there is a good inch of clearence between the face of the valves and the face of the head and the v alves dont open this much also the pistons have cut outs for the valves. so if this is correct why the hell dont i have any compression?

Im not sure that it is a 'free running engine' - my cuz snapped a timing belt and his engine was fux0red.

Only my experience tho mate, although I would think that you might be better to take it to a workshop to confirm either way - hopefully for you i am wrong.

Cheers! - Good luck!
