With the amount of miles I am thinking it is time for a new top end. Could that be the reason it wont start when its below 28 degrees? Low compression? Thanks.

Sounds plausible..as the engine when cold needs more compression and hotter spark to ignite a frigid air/fuel mixture..whereas a warmer charge of air/fuel ignites much faster. Have you done a compression check?..
