I should have elaborated. I know that compression tests have no bearing on water jacket condition. What I was asking is if my compression is even across the board would it be safe to assume that the water jackets aren't rotten to the point of no return.
I really already know the answer. I was just hoping that someone would say that when the corrosion gets bad the compression turns to crap. My engine runs great right now. I just have the visible corrosion at the mating surfaces and I'm a little hesitant in opening up a can of worms. At the same time I don't want to wait too long. Pretty much feel like whichever route I choose I'm going to wind up on the wrong end.

It's a catch 22. These engines are getting old enough that even taken care of engines are getting corroded beyond the point of no return. It is just teh nature of salt water. Your rolling the dice either way.

I'd say if it's running fine run it and leave the heads alone.
