Something is very very broken. with compression reading like that your engine can be considered dead.
I doubt it’s the cam but you may as well remove it, and do a leak down test and expect to find it leaks down faster than the Titanic.
The most likely cause is your valve grinding or incorrect assembly of the valve gear, ditch head get & a new one
i took the cam out last night so i could definatly tel that the valves were shut and the compression is reading around the 10-11 mark on all cylinders so i gues it was the cam. i put the gti cam back in built it all back up and it still wont run. im giving up now it is booked in at a local garage now for about a week and a half time they can sort it out. thanks for everyones help tho
hey i thought i would update everyone i took it to a good m8of mine who just went back to basics he ignored all the timing marks and timed it up 45 degrees out and it runs fine now. yay. thanks everyone for your help.
