[Bryan Blackwell]

I just went through troubleshooting an engine with zero compression  
on a couple cylinders.  If it's that low I'd suggest taking off a  
valve cover and see if the pushrods go in and out when you turn the  
engine before you go much further.  If they do, take the other one  
off as well and hose the valve stems down with some sort of penetrant  
or light oil.  Now see if the valves move with the pushrods.  If you  
still don't have any compression, you may be looking at a piston or  
valve seat issue.
