With that said, last night I took the engine apart ( which is when I realized timing issue) and saw this SEE PIC.... Looks like the valve hit the piston at some point. Everything looked ok otherwise, so I reassembled and tried to run. Seem to do ok put had a hard time with the high end needle and engine lost compression again.

So to my point - IS THERE ANYONE WILLING TO HELP ME GET THIS THING GOING AGAIN>>>> PLEASE!!!!!!!! Im just at a lost. Im guessing maybe replacing the valves (as one might possible be slightly bent) might help, but dont want to be throwing money into parts Im unsure I need.

Would appreciate if anyone could give me the rundown of what to look for and check.
