I may be wrong since I am not familiar with the engine in question, but if the distributor is driven off the cam shaft and teh timing belt/chain broke.......it ain't gonna move I also may be crazy, but without the valves being in sequence via correct timing, your compression test is going to be inaccurate at best....idk, just my 2 cents on that.
I'm with this thinking. You really need to get at the cams make sure cam is incorrect position and do a leakdown test. The tip about the camera down the hole is a good idea too. A compession test only proves what you know(the belt broke).
