99 Dodge Intrepid 2.7. I just replaced the Timing Chain, all my marks are spot on, the engine rotated flawlessly by hand.
My problem is, I have no compression on any cylinder... Now I do have the whole top end disassembled "timing cover, valve cover, plenum, pulleys, belts". I should still be getting compression though, right? Only thing I could think of would be its on the exhaust stroke & not the intake stroke and/or the heads are bad. I don't see that as it ran perfectly fine & I'm just replacing, not repairing. This is a 4 stroke motor correct? Intake stroke, firing stroke, down, exhaust stroke (something along those lines) right? Can these things be 180 degrees off, making it fire on the exhaust stroke? Is that possible?
Thanks in advance for any information regarding this issue!
