    should be no chance of that, sure the head gasket isnt dead too? Sounds like the cam is 180 from the crank

    F*CK, no compression, she's a bender, WTF?

    Triple checked crank position, cam and rotor timing, all dead on. Looking thru the plug hole, the pistons are flat tops,

    Well, ahem, slice up some humble pie, I had the cam out 1/4, hehehe. Guess that's a sign to knock it off and go home,

    Started right up after resetting cam timing, doh!

    Unless I'm sorely mistaken all of the 2.2/2.5 8v motors were non-interference.
