120 compression with another 0 compression is in "might as well" full rebuild territory.

Copied this from one of my other posts:

Personally, I'd recommend this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Geo-Metro-Pontiac-Chevrolet-1-0L-G10-Engine-Rebuild-Kit-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQfitsZMakeQ3aGeoQ7cModelQ3aMetroQQhashZitem3cb537124fQQitemZ260738323023QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
$233 full rebuild kit, additionally pick up a felpro head gasket, the kit comes with one, but it has the small oil holes, the felpro is usually made right. Pick up 3 exhaust valves, the SS ones from 3tech are the best, but you can pick up some normal ones on ebay for ~$5-$10 ea.

Grab a felpro head gasket at advance auto using this coupon, link: $35 off $85
And also pick up some plugs/wires/dist cap/rotor whatever else you'll need for the rebuild to get to $85 :D

I'd also recommend copper gasket spray (pick it up at advance auto) and put it on both sides of all gaskets including the head gasket, never had a gasket that was sprayed leak on me :D You'll also need some RTV either red or ultra black for the oil pan, and on the outside mating surface of the cam/crank seals.

Oh yeah! Full meal deal overhaul! :rocker I counted 5 Q&D overhauls before I visited the machine shop! Well worth the time and money in the long run, especially with the price of gasoline . . .

after I pulled the manifolds off the intake looked like it was plugged completely in the EGR passage with carbon.

Not surprising. After 21 years, you're likely to find some diamonds in there. Sounds like you're on your way to getting it fixed!
