Head gasket blew when you started it, and now you cant get any compression so it wont start again?

I have never seen that but holy **** that would be cool . Yeah it is a head gasket, get a compression tester and test it out , you will probably find that one or two or all have no compression

Hey, just think, it could be worse. Now you just have to try a new gasket, its not like the timing belt snapped and you slapped the heads off of half his valves.
