Had no compression on 4.

Spot the problem

Obviously a few other issue, like a gasket that predates the ark, and a lot of carbon build up.

I think it maybe time for a strip down and rebuild

Something's been in there.

At 1st I thought, have I over revved it. Then saw not just the impact marks on the piston, but a big gouge on the cylinder head next to the exhaust valve.

Yes, suspect a bent valve. Not cleaned it up yet.
