compression?????

yesterday i did a considerable amount of work on my car cylinder heads up as well as a hot cam. i go to put in my distributer so i go to turn it to tdc and i have next to no compression. im positive the head gasket is good. im next to sure my piston rings are sealed. the only thing i think it my be is something to do with the cam. would that have anything to do with it? cause im atleast 90% sure i lined up the timing chain correctly and dont want to take it out if i dont have to. does anyone out there have any ideas?
