New build . No compression #2-4 cylinder

ok guys I just got done building and assembling my new motor . When I first try to start it . It did nothing but just crank . But then realize the immobilzer was wrong , I thought that was it . So we got it started but it won't rev over 1k rpm and dyes with out gas , so I ran a compression test on it cylinder 1 is 130 and 2 is 0 and 3 is 30 and 4 is 0 . Can anyone tell me what's wrong

Which lifters are you running and have you built your cylinder head ?

Head has map valves with Brian crow era spring and retainers and no tick lifters but I reuse it from last set up . I bleed it and installed it but didn't install my cams until about a week while the lifters were sitting in my head Z also the was machines and was ported . You think it was the lifters ,

Is physicial timing 100% correct ? If it's a mivec car is the cam hear pumped up.
Do a leak down test. If the air is coming out the intake or exhaust ports then the valves are staying open. If the cylinder head has a few valve jobs and the shop didn't check the valve seat location the valves can stay open if the lifter is bottomed out.
Gsc lifters are slightly longer then stock , so if you may want to try stock ones to give some extra clearance.
If that's not enough the valve will have to be cut. Too much cutting isn't ideal for valve train geometry so it needs to be checked by a shop.
You can also have the head measured and bench tested .
if the head is fine you will need to look at the short block.

Exactly^

OP, I would start by swapping out the GSC zero tick lifters for oem ones. Many people have had the exact same problem that you are describing and fixed it by switching back to oem lifters.

Before swapping any parts, I would do a leak down test to see what is leaking...

Thanks everyone . I would of never thought of it being the lifters what's so ever . I will check timing and do a leak down test . If lifters are the cause and if I do have a leak anywhere . Can the lifters being to long be the cause .

Ok. Start by going to OEM lifters. If you lose the leak in the valves, then you can get the rings seated and redo the leak down test. Rings that haven't been broken-in aren't going to be very well seated in the cylinder, and could leak a decent amount.

Not if the motor is timed right. And even if it's a tooth or two off, they don't usually make contact.
