Rb25 No Compression

I just recently did a rb25 swap into my r32, I cannot get the car to start, turns out there's no compression in any of the cylinders, I purchased the motor from a reliable seller who says they tested the compression and replaced the timing belt and all was good.

I didn't mess around with the timing or remove the cams so I don't believe there is any possible way I could have bent the valves, let alone all of them. the only thing I did mess around with while trying to get it started is the cas, is it possible that's the cause of no compression? and if not does anyone have an idea what else could be causing the problem? I have yet to pull the head off to check the valves.... Also its a series 2 rb25 and it has hydraulic valves

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I tried it throttle open and closed, i have yet to pull the head off but I pulled the valve covers off and the exhaust valves are all stuck open slightly and all the intake valves are closed and in perfect condition, all the valves move, cams spin and its all timed correctly. Is it a common thing for an engine thats been sitting for 6 months or w.e it is to have valves stick for any possible reason, I want to leave pulling the head as my last resort assuming the exhaust valves are bent...

Thanks alot for your help :P

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
