2007 mini s low compression
Ok so I bought a mini cooper awhile back not running good. Did a carbon clean on it and then tested compression was between 30-90psi per cylinder. So I filled the intake ports with gas to see if the valves where bent and sure enough they wouldn't hold anything drained right into cylinders. So I said ok needs new valves pulled the head off put all new valves in. Reassembled everything and went to start it won't start! Did another compression and still between 30-90 psi at most! Am I looking at a timming chain being stretched at this point? I did a dry and wet compression test and still nothing different. What should the final torque spec be on the head? I want to go back and recheck all the studs aswell. I am decently familiar with taking engines apart I work on audis everyday.
