Ok I using a 4layer head gasket and arp studs.
what happen was i just upgraded my pump and injectors and i went out for a quick tuning I had the boost set to 18 psi so i go to do the first pass and I looked at the wideband and it shows rich so i let go of the gas and i look at the rear mirrior and i see a big cloud of white smoke kind of like when i poped my fist head gasket so then i drive regular for a while and no more smoke coming out so then i exit to the shop and I park and i rev the engine but it only gets to like 5000rpm and it limits it's self and again the withe smoke comes out. so I decise to do a compression test and i get 1-118 2-121 3-60 4-120.
SO then i put everything back and i deside to just drive home I take it easy on the way home but everytime i would get to a stop it would turn off on me and everytime i tried to turn it back on it would take longer to start. then as i was arriving home as soon as i would be coming to a stop I would keep the engine reved so it would not turn off but i started noticing that the temperature would go up. but as i would advance the temp would come rigth back down. Now while i'm driving i don't really see the withe somoke.If i'm driving regularly.
So what do you guys think will it be the head gasket or will it be the pinston rings?

Do a boost leak test and make sure your injectors are installed good. I swapped in some 550's and had a hell of a time with them leaking. my first leak test and I found one of the big O rings pinched into the head.

Your number three cylinder doesn't look good... I dont know what to say there, Im on my first metal head gasket myself too.

I do know how ever, cars can do amazing things with a blown head gasket. My girl friend bought a old Honda way back when and it had a blown head gasket. The seller said nothing, loosened the lower radiator hose and sold it to her as a great driver. She put 25,000 miles on that thing, adding water as she went. Then one day her dad notices the loose radiator hose... the thing died the very next day.

Good luck!
