<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Upon assembly of a 100 engine, if you replaced the cam, cam gears etc.with new parts, the indicated punch mark for the 100 is not correct. IT IS ONLY CORRECT FOR A 6-CYLINDER engine. You cannot use the mark
and must follow the diagram in the manual and add a mark after you locate top center to the cam angles. (photo) They do not sell a cam sprocket for the four cylinder engine and you must correct the one supplied or your valve timing would be way off as you
found with no compression. You should have 120-150 lbs on each cylinder-equally-even with an new engine that does not have the rings seated. After correcting the cam timing be sure that the distributor is not 180 degrees out. Good luck, Hank<o:p></o:p></p>
