77 oil in piston, no compression

[Rupesy]

So my timing belt project (gear, tensioner and belt) has not turned out as good as I thought it would. After I got everything back together and started it up, it actually ran much better than it has before and I can actually get it to idle at low rpms without stalling. But did sound a little funny and blue smoke pours out the exhaust. I looked inside all cylinders and cylinder #1 actually has blue smoke come out of the hole and when it clears it looks like a lake of oil in there. I checked compression and there is ZERO. Doesn't even move when I am turning the engine.

So what kind of failure do we have here? I obviously botched something. Should I start pulling the heads?

Good news is I have a week and a half to fix it before my daughter gets home from vacation!

check if spark plug is screwed in correctly. if it is, pull he head

hard to believe it idles well if you have a dead hole. Do a leakdown test to find where the compression loss is; crankcase, intake or exhaust

mine idled well on 3 of course after i removed the head and had the burned valve replaced i had to re adjust the carb, time to pull the head, it is an easy job, my one recomondation is to get socal marks head studs, nothing kills a mood like an old bolt that will not torque properly, just had that happen last month, and the studs are cheaper than a set of bolts
