Compression comes from crank turning not cam moving. If cam not moving you can have or not have compression depends if valve is permanently open or closed (or bent= open).

That part I got. But the crank is turning on the passenger side.
All in all I’ve got some work cut out for me. I’ll have to remove the whole front portion of the engine to get to the timing chain/tensioners. Thank goodness I have the internet to rely on for little gotchas. Thanks for your help
