so i had a head gasket replaced and now i have no compression in the #4 cyl. i took it to another shop and they said it might be a bent valve, then they asked me if some1 tried 2 start it with the cams in wrong. and thats exactly what the guys that tried 2 fix it were doing when i was at there shop. so i told the guys who did the work and they said it could not b there fualt bcuz its a "zero interference head" and that the cams dont come down enough to bend the valves. BS or NOT?

Yeah, it's true. If it was BS I wouldn't have an engine right now cause the previous owner hadn't replaced the timing belt in over 100K and when I replaced it the belt had slipped nearly a third of the way around from TDC. It makes for a little lower compression ratio on our cars than some, but it's nice when the belt goes.
