No Compression

I don't understand the timing chain as it relates to the compression sure the timing could be off but there is dots and dowels used to but the timing set on. I guess i don't understand. That's why I am here you guys probably forgot more about Mopars than ill ever know.

ok as the cam spins it opens and closes the valves in order to fire. the cam is installed on a centerline so that the valve events (open and closing events) are correct for that engine (lots of factors).

so when you have a timing set wear out and jump a tooth or more then the events are all wrong and when a valve should be closed it is now open = no compression
