Got it back yesterday. Here's the story:
0 psi compression on all cylinders. Removed cam shaft, intake camshaft bolt loose and locating pin sheared off causing gear to turn on cam. Valves OK. Replaced intake camshaft, gear and bolt, also replaced exhaust cam gear.
After roadtest, vehicle would not start. No fuel pressure. Fuel pump relay found loose terminal in underhood electrical center. Replaced block.
I also had a no start out in the Borrego Desert last winter. The neg. battery terminal was loose so I tightend it on the spot, good to go. Sounds like a bit of poor assembly here, maybe it's a Monday car.
Now I'm back to my third engine break in period.

Pray for me.
