I have the motor above here are the symptoms:
No water stream at idle Rev engine get water stream 5 cylinders 100 psi compression 1 cylinder 75 psi heat horn never went off Scoped low compression cylinder no scaring No missing Still will turn 5300 rpm
Think I may have a blown head gasket? Thoughts opinions?
Thanks

This is what I think you will find. The water diverter tubes in the block between the cylinders have flattened out causing a blockage that water cannot pass thru. The low compression cylinder is hopefully just stuck rings from carbon. The no T-T stream is from a weak impeller. I don't think you have a head gasket issue, but removing the heads will tell a lot.

Removed head...not scarring or piston top damage. Tried moving piston side to side had a little movement.
Head gasket looks good.
I am going to replace impeller...I will check tubes. Thank you for the heads up.
When back together I will de-carbonize and check compression again.
