With all the best will in the world you are performing the biggest engine killer in the automotive industry..... the cam belt change.... I always suggest that you read up on it, you seek advice before attempting it and you double check all your stages as you go.
In simple terms, measure twice, cut once.
As for your current predicament I suggest you get a local mobile mechanic to come and run his eye over it before you go any further.

Seems a little knowledge and confidence is dangerous! Surely you studied and researched the job before you started it?

I think people are worried that you will damage your engine costing you more than getting someone in who knows what they doing!

I have seen poster's here post "if you have to ask that then you shouldn't be doing it" !!!!! just because someone doesn't know the particular car they have just bought, it doesn't mean they are incapable and should be able to post asking a genuine question without fear of being labeled an idiot for asking

Compression test results:
Cylinder 1: 3psi/40kpa
cylinder 2: 3psi/40kpa
cylinder 3: 4psi/60kpa
cylinder 4: 4psi/60kpa
I recorded many results but basicaly each cylinder reached about 60kpa and nothing over. This leads me to think i havent bent a valve, but maybe 1 or 2 teeth out on the inlet cam. As the compression stroke is coming up, the one of the two intake valves are slighty open and the compression is escaping. This weekend i will re-time the motor and re-test. Will keep thread updated.

I have never see compression that low even with one or two teeth out. I hope you are right but I don't think so.

I've seen an engine with no head on with a higher compression.

The timings in correct. But there is still a high chance all the valves are slightly bent
