Hi everyone I have been working on the talon lately and I tried to do a compression check and I have done them before just never on a talon. I pulled the mpi fuse and the coil pack connector put the tester in and got 0 psi on cylinder 1, then tried cylinder two and still 0. I checked the tool to make sure it was working okay and didn't have any leaks. It seemed fine so I decided to put the plugs back in and try to fire the car and no luck. I then looked at the timing belt and it looks like it has jumped a tooth or two. Also another reason I think some valves are bent is because I can't turn the crank manually. Right now I am sure I will be taking off the head but is there anything that I could be missing. This car was running before I took off the accessories and the oil filter housing. The only stuff I have done is put the accessories back on, oil filter housing, took out the spark plugs to do the compression check and change the oil. Let me know what you think. Here is a picture of the cam gears, maybe it will help diagnose the problem.
Thanks Steve ![]() |

I would say if you can't turn the engine over by hand, something's definitly wrong. Don't turn the engine over anymore so not to cause any more damage. Probably a bent valve or two. It looks like the dowl pins are out of sync which would be a skipped belt.
You could take the valve cover off and see if any of the valve stems are lower than they should be, indicating which valves are bent. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
