When you align timing marks and have it TDC the cam valves should be closed on compression stroke?

should be in between intakevalve movement and exhaustvalve movement
Yes, valves should be closed.

Where should the cam position be when setting timing marks on a 1994 Honda Civic 1.5L sohc?
#1 piston should be at TDC and both valves closed (compression stroke)
Can a retarded engine cause low compression?
If the timing is retarded due to cam and crank timing, the answer is YES. If it is due to distributor or ignition timing NO. Compression is produced mechanically when all the valves are closed during the compression stroke of the piston. If all is well (rings and valves), you should achieve optimal compression from the engine. Almost all gasoline engines require a least 80 psi to fire the cylinder.
When timing a 3.0L Plymouth engine I understand that the 1 piston should be a TDC on compression stroke but on the other cam should the 2 piston be on compression or exhaust stroke?
Well if you lined up the timing marks properly then it would not matter. The engine would run anyway.
Is timing set on exhaust or intake stroke?
Neither, on a 4 cycle engine the timing is set at the end of the compression stroke of the number 1 cylinder.
What In a four-stroke engine the timing gears control?
The timing gears basically first the cylinders in the right sequence and when the compression is at it most optimum
Camshaft timing marks for a Ford Laser?
Timing marks for twin cam 1.6L B6 engine. When crank pulley is at TDC on the compression stroke, 'E' & 'I' on the camshaft pulleys should be at 12 o'clock. Too easy.
Does rotor point to number 1 when timing marks are lined up?
Yes, if #1 is at TDC on the compression stroke.
How do you change timing chain on 97 dodge ram 5.2l?
get the #1 up on compression stroke crank gear mark at 12 & cam gear at 6 this should work
3.0 v6 1990 Dodge Daytona how to adjust camshafts for timing engine?
Look for detent marking on camshaft sprockets and align them with timing marks on cylinder head, should be visable markings and ensure that engine is at TDC on compression stroke, and timing marks should all line up
1989 Toyota 3.0 v6 sr5 can you swap the heads around if not why we did by accident now compression is at 36lbs why is that?
More than likely your timing belt is not installed correctly so you have open valves when they should be closed to have compression...
Can low compression affect timing?
No. Low compression does not effect timing but timing can affect compression.
Why would I have low compression in my 1997 ford escort 2.0 low compression when the timing belt was replaced 1000 miles ago and it will not start now but the belt is right on the marks?
You've realigned the marks, but did you check which piston stroke? The marks will align in two instances, top dead center on the compression stroke, and top dead center of the exhaust stroke. I'd bet money that you've aligned the timing marks to TDC exhaust stroke. That would explain 0 compression in all cylinders. Rotate your crank shaft by itself (leave the camshaft where it is) 360 degrees (one full turn) and you should then by aligned to TDC compression stroke, as it is supposed to be.
