You might get a old style squirt type oil can with the flexible spout and squirt a little oil into all the cylinders and crank the engine for about 30 seconds, then re-do the test. all readings should rise some but a cylinder with a bad valve will rise the least and a blown headgasket not much more than the bad valve.

If the engine, on your Jeep/Dodge SUV (or pickup) has 0 PSI compression on all cylinders, this usually means that the timing chain has broken or something severe has happened to it internally (which will either require a re-build or a replacement). On high mileage engines, low compression on all 8 cylinders will be common.
How to test engine compression ( Ford 4.0L )?
STEP 1: 175 x 0.15 = 26.25. STEP 2: 26.25 = 26 (rounded to nearest one). STEP 3: 175 – 26 = 149. ANSWER: 149 PSI. Any cylinder with this compression (or lower) value will misfire. Since cylinder #2 is only producing 95 PSI, I can now conclude that it’s ‘dead’ and causing a misfire.
