Not so fast, Grasshopper.
If the timing chain has jumped a couple teeth, the valves will be open when
the piston comes to TDC, hence, no compression.
Pull the timing cover and see if the timing sprockets are properly aligned.
Or, pull the valve cover, turn the engine using a socket wrench until the #1
piston reaches TDC then check to see if the valves are closed. Rockers will
be loose if the chain hasn't jumped time.
Good luck,
