Message	Well I bought a car and I was told the timing belt was just done but it runs like crap after the fact. Before the belt was done it ran fine. So I figured the timing was off. I drove it home but it shut off on me and wouldn't start so I pushed it home and the next day I went to start it and it started up. I went to go do a compression test and one of the cylinders has 0 compression the needle would even move. Others I had 180psi in each. I don't have a air compressor for a leak down test what are my options on finding out what went bad? If I'm. It mistaken it could be only 1 of three things either the head or piston rings or head gasket. Thanks
