I think my timing belt has jumped. I have zero compression on all cylinders, valves and pistons both moving when engine cranked. Do I have to drop the motor to do this or is there another way? It is a 2.2 L.

should have timing chain not a belt. engine will have to be at least raised for the procedure because the oil pan will need removed, which requires loosening and lifting engine assembly.

Thank you. I thought maybe the timing jumped, but with a chain probably not.
