The other day I blew a head gasket....replaced it with a metal one. Drove around and was smoking in between shifts and at accel....Performed compression test #1-30, 2-120, 3-155, 4-155....Did leakdown test...air is going in on #4 piston but not coming out of the exhaust or intake.....it's going somewhere but I don't know where. #1 piston..air comes back up out the head...cracked head? block, rings, valve seals....I'm at a loss. Also, I am getting very HIGH blow by gases from the head...VERY HIGH!

Better pull the head off again and have a closer look.
 
I've decided I'm blind and impatient, so I'm taking it to a machine shop.....I'll let you know the results.
