Default lopey idle then clears...warped valve?

hi folks

i sold a friend of mine a 92 accord ex auto F22A that had snapped the timing belt on me...he bought the belts and i installed it for him set it all back in time and everything. it runs but had a very lopey idle, it doesnt make hardly any power until around 2500 to 3000 then its like normal. also it seems like it has low compression when you turn it over. i was wondering if maybe something was moved during the timing belt installation or if it may have warped a valve.

any input helps thanks!

Valves could be bent, but there's also the possibility that you have the timing belt off by one tooth.

ill try to set the timing again it was the first time i did an f series and all the different gears had me looking at it funny. but if that doesnt do it ill tell the owner he needs a head or he should try to find a cracked head and replace the bent valves
