So I did the compression test all ports really low but basically same pressure about 30 psi so my buddy says head gasket I'm still leaning toward timing only bc the pressure is the same all the way around my question is would a slipped timing create low pressure like that dry and wet test was done...no oil in my coolant and doesn't shoot out of radiator
When an engine jumps time the valves hit the pistons and get bent, leading to low/no compression because the valves can no longer close and seal. You should be seeing at around 160-180 PSI of compression on all cylinders with no more than 10% difference between cylinders. Your engine is now junk. Sorry.
BTW - Your buddy doesn't know what he's talking about.
