a friend of mine got this 86 honda accord it was running perferct for a couple of days he went to his storage reached out window to do password to open the gate and it died timing belt is fine crank and cam marks are in line there is very low compression in 3 cylinderis i thinks cant rember for sure but the are like 50 and lower not to sure he doesnt have much money is it something stupid and could the rings just burn up like that?

I don't think so. check the belt again maybe get another experienced honda guy to check it out, sometimes it takes another set of eyes to catch something new

Broken timing belt subsequently bent some valves. Rebuild/replace the head and it should be ok

could have a broken cam
It would more likely have select dead cylinders vs low all around. My CRX cam split between 2 and 3. 1 and 2 were like 130 and 3 and 4 were zero because nothing was being moved in or out of them
