Default valves? low compression..

ok, about a week ago i snapped a timing belt and the car jumped timing a lil, we put a new belt on it and did a compression test and it came out like this from 4 to 1
90 220 220 225. so i figured when i jumped timing i messed something up in the head. i took off the valve cover and did a compression test and it was like blowing smoke out of the exhaust valves on 4. so i got the head off and i cant tell whats wrong. any suggestions before i go any further??

put the head on a bench with some rags on the bench. keep the cams out, put hte head intake ports up. pour gas or mineral spirits on the port and see if it leaks. then do the same on the exh side.
