Radiator blew out at bottom, engine overheated and now have no compression
You didn't say what your compression readings were. If you do another 2 compression tests and note down the figures..
The first test is a dry test as per normal. Prior to the second test - the 'wet test', spray some some penetrating oil into the cylinder, spin it on the starter to get rid of the excess oil.
The second, wet test, allows oil to get in between the piston and cylinder wall.
If, on the wet test, your compression readings go up significantly this points towards ring/piston damage or excess wear .. a worn engine. This will give you a good indication as to whether it is easier just to fit a second hand engine instead of doing the cylinder head.
If, after doing the wet test your compression readings don't increase by more than 10% compared to the dry test, this suggests that the pistons/cylinders are okay.
Remember that an alloy cylinder head must be skimmed before refitting. Cylinder heads warp because of heat and become 'banana shaped' - raised in the centre. Failure to have the head skimmed is likely to cause head gasket failure very quickly.
If you're going to repair the cylinder head you should change the thermostat as a matter of course. It's good practise, that's all.
