Compression on one bank only????
I did a compression test last evening and had 150 psi on all three right side cylinders. All 3 left side showed exactly zero psi. Did I really bend all the valves on the left side or is there another explanation? Any ideas would be appreciated. I cranked the motor over by hand about 5 complete revs and no interference or clicking noted.

A leak down test will answer that question.
A red neck way to do it is make sure the cylinder is at TDC and on the compression stroke and find a way to put an air hose where the spark plug should be. Blow compressed air in and you will hear it whistling out the intake manifold or the exhaust if the valves are bent. Turn 360 to confirm you are on compression stroke.
