Question my new lr4 has no compression

Hey Gang I'm a new LR4 owner...???
and so far I'm a little perplexed!!!
ok here it goes..
I'm pretty handy !st off. so I bought a 2010 LR4 from Copart ( an aution site ) My Bad!!!!!!!
my main situation is NO COMPRESSION or very little.
1st I put a brand new Battery in. ( old one would not hold a charge for more then 2 cranks )
2nd It now turns over but the motor just spins. I can see the timing chain spin looking into the oil fill and the fan spins but oddly NO RPMS REGISTER needle goes up just a tab.
I also squirted Starer Fluid down the air intake.. No Firing
3rd Ran the scanner from the shop across the street NO COEDS (Figured i just replaced battery and cleared all)
4th I pulled the easiest to get to spark plugs (drivers side front 2 closest to the fan) put a compression tester on them the most forward measured only 15 PSI and the second one only 5 PSI
At first i thought i needed a camshaft positiing sensor but now no compression ???????
any Help would be much appreciated

To me that seems like a timing chain failure/jumped timing.

Hey Dakota thanks for your input. so I'm assuming i probably have some bent valves that go along with that.
does it mess up the heads..
timing would need to be completely reset..

ughhhh..

I would suggest verifying timing and maybe taking a video scope inside a cylinder. I've not worked on that engine, but most can be verified with a valve cover removed to check cam positions against crank position.

One of your heads has bent valves, you'll need to determine which bank (side) it is on. Do a compression test on each side. Replace bent valves, headgaskets, timing chain & related components.
