questions about a '92 100

[Joshua van Tol]

Well, on inline engines, that's usually the case, because usually all 
the exhaust valves, or all the intake valves, or all the valves in the 
engine get bent, resulting in 0 compression on all cylinders. In a v 
engine, if only one side is out of time, it'll bend just the valves on 
that side. Sounds like the cam belt slipped, but just on one side, or 
maybe the keyway is goobered up or something.
