What SB is referring to is that a little low on compression is a red flag indicator to the Tech that the mechanical valve timing is off , resulting in improper valve /piston relationship for full compression.
..and if this indicator proves to be the case , then the cam position sensor is not in sinc with the crank sensor . So HFM module has incorrect fuel/ignition inputs..and no start
So, incorrect mechanical timing chain spec is suspect. You may be off when you did the chain..
