Default Del Sol won't run

Hey guys, recently I bought a 1995 Del Sol with the D16z6, not running. The owner told me the motor needed to be timed and he just didn't have the money to fix it. Once I got the car home I found the timing was off 180 degrees and fixed it. While looking over the car I found some typical things to be replaced, plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, and the fuel filter. I did all those items and the car ran great. Then all of a sudden the car started to over heat. I did the thermostat, the car ran fine then began to over heat again. I then did a flush of the coolant system and again the car overheated. I noticed it was shooting coolant right out the top of the radiator now and the compression pressures were pretty far off from each other. I then did the head gasket and water pump. The car ran great four a couple days, but then I turned the car off quickly to run into a gas station and it wouldn't start. I took it to the shop I'm currently working at, the timing was right on and there was no issues. Several days later I started it up just to see if anything changed and it ran fine. Started repeatedly fine, then I put about ten miles on the car, turned it off, and again it wouldn't start. I plugged in the code reader and found I has a crankshaft position sensor error so I replaced the distributor. I figured this would fix the problem, but apparently not, the car still sits in the parking lot dead. I tested for spark, fuel, tested that the injectors were firing and everything is good. I'm getting about 225psi in all four cylinders for compression. I did however notice that when I took the compression tester out all four cylinders were leaving a milky white substance on it, maybe coolant? Anyway, I have no idea why it's not running. This is the first honda I've ever dealt with so I've done all I can think of. If anyone has any ideas please don't be afraid to let me know. Thanks for any help.
