Nothing against your mechanic, but if the lifters were bad, they'd make a hell of a lot of noise, and they would also tend to keep the vavles CLOSED. Hydraulic lifters collapse and get shorted when they go bad. If you have zero compression, the lifters would have had to "grow" to hang the valvles open.

I'm with nitro too. Probably jumped the timing chain a tooth or 12, and bent the valves on that side.
