It turned out to be 155.I havn't drove it much today,it feels like it still has the hesitation in it from a dead start.I think it still has a leak somewhere.

Have you changed/checked plugs/wires lately?

Well if your chambers check out @155 you have good rings now seems like a head rebuild and u will be fine. I would suggest a local machine shop worse case you buy a new head for $500.00. but when you take the head off check the head gasket just make sure it is not damaged if it is than tat may be the problem but wont hurt to get head overhaled while it is off.

once the head is pulled off, check to see if the head gasket it bad. i am 99% sure that was your problem

Alright,I took the car to a place to talk to a guy about getting a valve job done.He told me that before I jerk the head off it would be a good idea to get a leak down test done.Then I went to talk to another guy about the test,the more he heard he said that it sounded like something in the EGR system.He wants to do a diagnostic test on it before anything is done.Could my problem be in the EGR system or should I find another mechanic???

I bet it is a simple leak in the seal of the valve cover. That is the most logical reason without getting so serious.
