i was told that could be one reason i have no compression in any of the cylinders (and it won't start or run) just seein if anyone has any problems themselves with this situation

sounds to me like either your timing is off, or youve bent the valves. But to get zero on all is pretty unusuall, id also make sure your doing the test correctly
