either the engine wasnt at TDC and the cams were timed at that or the engine was at TDC and the cams werent timed correctly. you need the valves closed when the piston comes up to make compression, so it has to be one of the 2. or it wasnt at TDC AND the cams weren't timed. I suppose thats possible as well. should be an easy fix.
At least its not a diesel, cause they would have put some valves into the pistons if the timing was that far off. And thats a bad thing.
