sounds like your timing is off. You may have a bent exhaust valve, do a compression test to check.

Yeah. I think it is timing also. It is set at TDC. Think it is supposed to be at 16 BTDC. Would that cause it also

problem solved, exhaust cam needed to be retarded. The exhaust cams were still open when it fired so everything would just blow by.
