Tin:

What makes you think head gasket is bad if compression is good all around?

If water is getting into a cylinder then high water pressure could be understood due to compression stroke, but you said plugs are not steamed clean, nor is compression bad. so I don't understand why you think head gasket?

With all the bad head gaskets I seen, water always gets into the cylinder on the power-stroke at least when compression drops and vacuum is formed. Never seen a bad gasket that only flowed one way.

Bite the bullet, it's most likely going to be under the power head in the poppet's
