just to start from the begining i was one my way back from kennewick a few months back. my car started ticking loudly overheating and shut down towed it home found out it jumped time.

i baught a donor motor for some things took the old motor out replaces the timing gear replaced the intake manifold and the distributor housing.

now it wont start still so i did a compression test results: 1-90 2-90 3-60 4-90

anyone have any ideas what it could be? also its a SOHC

compression in cylinder 3 is waaaaay too low, find out where it's leaking from and get it fixed. check the valves and your piston rings and try again

Also check your head gasket as it may be cracked at that cylinder
