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.

Time for another update and this time with pics. Took about 6 hours total to remove the head from the car. The damage was exhaust valves all 8 of them bent (i'm guessing the exhaust valves because they have a ton of carbon on them). I believe the head gasket was also done I have pics of all of it. Let me know what you think I should do about the pistons because they have some little dings in them and also what is the procudure for getting rid of the crap on top of them. Also take a close look at the head because I am wondering if it is fixable with the valve hitting the side of the combustion chamber.
