New here and I know this thread is old but it does relate to my situation. Pretty much did the same here but I really tightened down the bolts on the rockers and tried to start engine and got nothing. Did some research and realized I messed up. Had a guy help me who thought he knew what he was doing and just assumed it would be ok. So I have a truck with no compression and not sure where to start to fix. Did I bend the valves or anything else when I cranked the motor? Is this still just a valve adjustment and perhaps even a timing issue or did I do more damage and now need a valve job? Thanks for the help

having same problem right now with my 96 suburban thought it might be related to the coolant/motor oil sludge i found in engine. I was going to remove the lifters and pump them up while submerged in oil to clean them out
