No I'm fairly certain it's not the timing, i have had it checked.
Is it normally better to have the head overhauled, or to buy a good second hand one?
I'm no genuis when it comes to bikes or mechanical things so it could probably be something else all together. How would I know if it is the piston rigns? Would i Have to open the complete engine up?

Re: NC 23 no compression
How do you know it has no compression, I assume you have had a compression tester on each of the cylinders?
That at least will tell you either which valves are not sealing properly or which cylinder is fucked.

Re: NC 23 no compression
If you have lost compression to all 4 cylinders then this is a serious problem and I would recommend getting a mechanic to look at it or just buy a new engine as this would be cheaper. I wouldn't have thought it would be the piston rings as you would have had warnings, like blue smoke etc, it could be a piston or the bloke has cracked, but I would have said it is most likely valves.
With the cost of secondhand engines what ever it you may be better off just getting another engine.
