OK I am quite sure I have found the problem!
Because of this I have now ordered a new head gasket and am trying to get a new valve.
Anyone else had this issue?

Yep, that looks like it might cause a reduction in compression...

That's a first in my memory, don't remember seeing that before.

Oh my, that sucks....makes me want to run out and get a compression test....that looks like *** with all that carbon buildup!

How do the piston and cylinder bore look? I once ingested a carburetor bolt (anybody remember those?) down my intake and it ended up notching the top of piston, which eventually burned a hole through the piston. I was able to get away with just a new piston on that cylinder because it didn't scar the cylinder wall. I later bored the engine .030 over and fitted balanced piston/rod assemblies.
