"zero interference head"? BS or NOT? Options

[SlickRick]

so i had a head gasket replaced and now i have no compression in the #4 cyl. i took it to another shop and they said it might be a bent valve, then they asked me if some1 tried 2 start it with the cams in wrong. and thats exactly what the guys that tried 2 fix it were doing when i was at there shop. so i told the guys who did the work and they said it could not b there fualt bcuz its a "zero interference head" and that the cams dont come down enough to bend the valves. BS or NOT?

Yeah, it's either your piston rings (but you'd get blue smoke if it was), failing that, your cylinder head could be warped, cracked, or the gasket might not be creating a good enough seal around the effected cyclinder.

Is your car using a lot of oil?

yeah its using mnore oil than it should be, but its weird no check engine light came on (well it did today for like 45 min then went back off), but i DID get the head resurfaced. and b4 the head blew it was sputtering the same way it does now, could it have been more than just the head gasket? oh and i feel some liquid coming out of the tail pipe, and its not gas but it comes out cold. maybe just not a good seal with the head gasket huh? would just a bad seal cause all this?
