Ep.2 Will the engine start? What is wrong with it?

Did some initial compression tests, video log for second day. Northern Comfort is 3 hours from me at the moment, in Grand Bend, so it's a trip to get there and do some review. I am anxious to get it back at my shop so I have more tools readily available.

I'm getting acquainted with Northern Comfort, and trying to make a list of how things get put together, how to hook up the batteries, trying to get the engine started to make some guesses as to what's wrong with it. The previous owner said the engine was irreparable.

Brought my compression tester and found that all 4 cylinders had no compression. That made no sense to me, as it sounded like there was compression when it turned over, but not enough to start the engine properly. I went and bought a second compression tool, and it also showed no compression so it must be the engine, not the tool. Is the block/head cracked somehow?
