so...
Oil in water whats left of it, no water in the oil
cold compression of +-800 in all 6
plugs are all the same
can start the engine but not running on all 6, no strange noises
I think it is headgasket went and then overheated and then oil got so low that it wasn't picking any up. any advice from people who know what they are doing?

Ok so the cause is a pipe came off the oil cooler, thinking this is where the oil is mixing into the water. Headgasket looks fine. Cil 3,4,5 has ridges. 4 you can see the others you can only feel. No scoring on the bores.
Couple of the valves look well oiled and while the car was running it smoked abit like valve stem seals. Still need to take the exhaust mani off and see what the ports look like.
