sounds like the lifters need to bleed down. Also if you removed the pushrods they are different lengths, be sure they are in the right spots

Suggested Repair

Allow the lifters to bleed down. If the pushrods were removed, reinstall them in their original positions because they are different lengths.

Conversation Summary

A 1992 Camaro V6 has no compression and will not start after the lower intake manifold gasket was replaced, despite correct timing. The expert suggested the lifters may need to bleed down and warned that removed pushrods must be returned to the correct locations because they differ in length.
