Done a compression test today 0 compression on 3.

Any ideas? Could it be a stuck valve considering the engine hasnt been run since March?

You should know this rob, dont you remember the troubles we had with my car. Im guessing the head is alright, have it skimmed anyway, we thought mine was ok! New gasket, new valves, see how it is then. Il lend a hand if you want I owe you anyway.
