I do feel that the timing is not correct and you may have bent valves, do a wet compression check, that is add a small amount of engine oil to the cylinder just enough to seal the rings, and re check the comps, if there is no improvement in the readings the valves will be the problem, do this one at a time and advise me of the readings.
