So this is where I am today. I tried to start the car and of course it did not fire. I have gas and I have spark. I then knew I had to do a compression check:
cyl
1 50
2 0
3 0
4 52
5 59
6 80
7 75
8 71

So without thinking, I just pulled the head off to see if I could find the problem. I did not see anything, but I am not a trained mechanic. I hooked up my new 6V battery to the car and turned the engine over and all valves move. It looks like the intake valve on 2 and 3 don't seat all the way. But I can't tell. Where do I go from here?
