2002 Honda Civic No compression in cylinders 1 and 4
No compression in cylinders 1 and 4
What is your question?
Question for you. I bought a Honda civic 2002 it was running good then one day it started then died almost right after starting so I had the guy that I bought the car from come look at it and he did some tests and it has spark, fuel, air but it lost compression in 2 cylinders. He's saying that it's a blown head gasket but from what I'm reading it doesn't sound like it to me. Cylinder 1 no compression cylinder 2 has compression cylinder 3 has compression and cylinder 4 has no compression. Now my understanding is that with a blown head gasket the 2 cylinders affected will be right next to each other like 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 or something like that. Can you please help me out. Could it be an intake leak or exhaust leak instead? Just let me know what you think please.

Check for failed timing belt .. Not necessarily a ‘broken’ belt but worn belt or failed components that has allowed incorrect engine timing..
Agree - not likely caused by head gasket failure - I’d bet on incorrect ‘engine’ timing.
You should question the seller concerning timing belt replacement history.
This is an *interference engine* application - meaning IF engine timing (crankshaft + camshaft) is not synchronized there is a good possibility of bent valves.
Good luck!
