if you have snapped a head bolt that would alow for low compression, what do you mean by NO compression??

you will want to get that head bolt sorted out before you do anything else

 

but as stated make sure your valve clearances are set to specs

and wouldnt hurt to reface the valves while the head is out

As Felix says, valve clearances. Valves are probably open non stop.

My 4K has a snapped head bolt and its fine. (Bought it like that)

 

What you need is a set of feeler gauges, your manual, a flathead screwdriver and a 12mm ring spanner.
