Default Checking compression

Hi guys, wanted to ask if I would be able to check the compression with both of my cams off. I got a 1.6 LT dual oh VTEC/ '95 Del Sol

I'm removing the head to check if any of my valves are bent after the timing belt broke.

I did try to install a new belt, and the motor did run afterwords, but not too good though...

Had to advance the timing all the way, to be able to drive the car. I suspect I have low compression because of bent valves.

Also, do you guys know a way to get to the lower intake manifold retaing nuts (can't even get my hand in there to check!) Thanks

Aldo
