i would like to know all the reasons for no compression other than valves

 

Tons of reason what makes you think you have no compression?

You mean like no like 0 psi? If so, i'd try a re test.

 

yeah 0 i checked again and again i just rebuilt the motor so i sorta need to what all the culprits are

LOL! Di you seriously just say you know you rebuilt it right by yourself your first time yet it won't start? You messed up somewhere.

The easiest thing to do is to go back step and step and inspect each component for compression. Head gasket might be at fault or the rings were not installed properly, did you hone the block? Did you make sure the rings where set 120deg apart. I hope you followed a honda manual.

The first time I rebuilt a DOHC VTEC engine I used a honda manual and it turned out great. There was a few hickups but nothing major. I've never had an engine not start tho.

 

if you feel confident that you did it right, maybe you just forgot to do your valve adjustment. maybe too tight and having no compression

is the only option a leak down test??
