Default 2000 Civic Si won't start

Hello, so the other night on my way home from work, my 2000 civic si decided to die on the side of the road, it was sputtering pretty bad, made a small ticking noise from the motor and I noticed lots of white exhaust smoke, so I pulled over and the car died and wouldn't start back up.. I need a bit of help with what you think it could be. I started with replacing plugs, wires, cap and rotor - car still wouldn't start. Replaced coil and still nothing. Checked for fuel by removing the fuel line off the filter and that's not an issue. I checked compression on all cylinders and 2, 3 & 4 came back really low. My oil looks fine as well as my coolant. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Sounds like a blown head gasket. Post the compression numbers for all 4 cylinders and do a leak down test.

Correct, stock OBD2. I pulled my CEL code and it came back "Misfiring in 4th cylinder."
