Default timing belt question (valve related need help)

my buddy bought a 90 accord ex. he was driving down the road and it just stalled on him and wouldnt start. he checked for spark and was getting that and fuel. i told him to pull the valve cover off and look at the timing belt. it was loose as hell and it turns out that the balace chaft belt broke and broke the tensioner somhow. well he got all new parts put them on but it wont start.
he has the flywheel mark (white) in the v grove, and the cam gear is perfectly alligned, also the distributor is pointing to #1 cylinder. i did a compression check and got 0 accros the board!!!! i was like WTF, is it possible that enough valves could be bent so that no compression was made??? if somehow the cam was missaligned would there be no reading??? when we crank it over it sounds like there is no plugs in it, you just hear the starter whine but there is no compressin sounds????

sorry for the long post

as long as you assembled everything correctly, I dont know what else the problem could be.
