so i had a head gasket replaced and now i have no compression in the #4 cyl. i took it to another shop and they said it might be a bent valve, then they asked me if some1 tried 2 start it with the cams in wrong. and thats exactly what the guys that tried 2 fix it were doing when i was at there shop. so i told the guys who did the work and they said it could not b there fualt bcuz its a "zero interference head" and that the cams dont come down enough to bend the valves. BS or NOT?

Yeah, it's either your piston rings (but you'd get blue smoke if it was), failing that, your cylinder head could be warped, cracked, or the gasket might not be creating a good enough seal around the effected cyclinder.
Is your car using a lot of oil?
