Default blown head gasket?

Hello I just bought a car from someone that said the motor was fully built the car is not tune. Me being dumb I drove it to make sure it doesnt die out or overheat. It was fine so I bought it the next day I was changing my oil I notice the oil was milky... so I changed the oil and did a compression test number was 40, 60, 70, 80 acceoss the board. But the motor idle fine and sound fine....

I called the guy I bought the motor from and he said it never over heated on him, he said the car sat for 2 month only before he sold it too me but that doest explain the very very low compression test it doest make sense

Healthy MINIMUM compression numbers are 135psi. Your numbers are beyond past bad at this point or you messed up the compression test badly. A blown headgasket doesn't necessarily have to cause the engine to overheat either. Keep driving it like that and you'll be sorry. Change the damn headgasket.

Check the block and head with a flat edge, make sure the block or head isn't warped.

Just A thought, I wonder if you can get the block resurfaced to the sleeves (if in service limits)? If anything you need to find out how much lower the sleeves are, Im sure this is bad...

Your spelling and grammar makes me want to beat retarded children...

Those are dart on sleeves, everything looks fine, clean all of that **** out of the cylinders and put the new gasket on already..... the questions you're asking we can't answer unless we can physically touch the damn motor

Install the damn gasket already and go from there

Clean it up nice with air and rags. I hope it works out for you. Nice block.
