Not stock, 351W timing

Well I decided to bother my dad on this one before I dug any deeper. He’s a retired mechanic with 45+ years experience. He recently had a heart attack so I’ve tried not to bother him with mechanical issues. Anyway I dodged a huge bullet here. I had 2 valves that were way too tight and not closing all the way leading to my no compression issue. He helped me go through the valves one by one and get everything adjusted correctly. She runs like a champ!! No heating issues either! Thanks to all for the comments given!!

Awesome!! Glad to hear you didn’t have to tear it down. It’s always good to have a second opinion close to you. When in doubt, I always give Dad a call.
