More Engine Help...0psi Compression
Hello again guys,
So after I finally put a new crank in with matched bearings, with around .0015-.0020 on rods and mains according to plastigage. Now all the engine does is turn over. Has gas, has spark. Doesn't even try to start. No compression. Literally. 0 frickin psi in #1 cylinder, and I'm assuming in the rest as well. What in the hell could cause this? Engine had low oil pressure because I forgot the galley plugs, do I need to reset valve lash? I bought a new timing gear and set it at the special "magical" 4* advance the box recommends I do...lined up the dots etc. What is going on?
Thanks in advance for the advice and for listening to my whining

Sound slike the valves are all too tight.
Back em all off 3 turns and try again.
