Default bad compression

ok so a buddy of mine just put a new engine in his eclipse. its a 420a and he did a compression check and theirs no compression in any cylinders. is their something he needs to do to get compression or is his head messed up? ive never rebuilt an engine so im not much help.

Sounds like time to do a cylinder leak down to find out for sure.
