Checked and no compression, took valve covers off from cylinder, timing OK. still not seeing any thing that really worried me. So need to get the head off.

the bolts on the exhaust studs are solid. I have been soaking them with wd40 this week. got at them with socket last night and the nuts like cheese. Started to turn them and the corners just came off. Got a smaller socket and hammered it on, same thing the bolts just rounded. So I will need to get them off and then I think I will get the head off and hope fully that will show me damaged or stuck valve.
