ok, car started overheating, threw a 73(misfire cyl 3) coolant was a little low, #3 plug was wet(looked like coolant) and white smoke from exhaust. compression test is a good 180 across the head(good for 9.5:1 pistons) im still tearinf stuff apart but it looks like a head gasket.....any other ideas? i thought a head gasket would show up on the compression test? coolant is clean, oil is clean and full.

 

Check and see if there is bubbles coming out of radiator, also there some stuff that you can test if there is exhaust going into the radiator,it changes color if it does. GOOD LUCK.
