Got it. Check head gasket. New compression tester and DON'T run it as is. Any tips on removing the bolts without snapping them. I have done that in the past on a 90 Hyunday at the salvage yard. That sucks.

Pulled the head and found a tore up piston head, shavings and a broke ring. Got photos of the gasket as well. Some are the photos are repetitive but I was trying to make sure that the shadows weren't blocking something important.

I didn't see any gouging. But it was discolored you could tell it was rubbing. It still looks smooth to my eyes.
