I checked my compression on my 93 5.0 with gt-40p heads and e303 cam with i think 1.6 roller rockers but only two cylinders and anything! cylinder number 2 was at 105 cylinder number 3 was at 125 all the others where 0! I pulled the heads the valves look fine and the head gasket looked good to! What could be the problem maybe wrong push rods or cam installed wrong! i didn't do the work to the car now i am just trying to fix it! Any comments thanks

Did you check and make sure your roller rockers werent adjusted too tight and holding open the valves. Sometimes you have to shim them.

If you just installed them, your valvetrain is adjusted too tight, as noted above. I did the same thing with my TFS heads the first go around, when my lifters pumped up after I primed the oil pump and held the valves open.
