Compression reading that low suggests that the cam may not be properly
indexed to the crank. Have you double checked the timing chain
installation since the rebuild?

	Hello 

	No amount of churning over with a new battery will induce the BN3’s
rebuilt engine to fire. Even towing the car up and down the road
failed to instill any life into the engine. 

	Everything is spot on – timing, spark and fuel. 

	Anyone have an idea as to what the compression be on a rebuilt engine
should be? 

	Many thanks
