Yeah I did a wet compression test and it stayed at 0 psi. Then it must be something on the head right? Things I should know before removing it? Any suggestions on what I should look for?

I hope I don't have to get a new engine since I got no cash! All I have is $300 for now after putting a couple hundred in getting it to start. Im going to open the head and check it out.
