Bent valves=0 compression.
Can't you have slightly bent valves? Like just enough to drop some compression but not enough to really hurt anything besides efficiency? I don't really know how it could be the timing belt. I could attempt to put the crank plate on the other way, but it looked pretty clear that it was on correctly. However, the person before could have ran it the wrong way too.. hmm

the engine has new OEM mitsu rings std size. It was hoaned but not bored. So I guess having slightly low compression could be to blame on that.
