Default compression test question.

if your compression checks out fine, is there still a possibility of a blown headgasket? thanks

not necessarily. It all depends where it's leaking from. If it's from an oil alley, no, it won't read. But if around the water jackets/sleeves it's leaking, it may show....but a leak down test is better for that
