Cylinder Head swap help
I have a 97 Honda Civic HX, and i have swaped the Head from the EX after i got it ported and pollished with new valves and springs ect.... i put it in its all on correct( everything at TDC ect. ect), i even followed a few "mini me" swap write ups. But now my car is reading No Compression (0 psi) with my Comp. tester, I kept the HX Cam in there because the EX cam i have with it is baddly worn. I was thinking this could be the problem and was going to swap the cams out today, or that my timing is just off all together, but since i dont wanna buy a timing light i wanted to ask first
Help is much appreacited, i have no car

the cam for sure.
the HX cam has one less lobe that the EX one. You could have bent things bolting that down possibly.
I would switch out to the correct cam, adjust the valves, and go from there
