The fact that you still have some compression in those two holes is
indicative of the gasket failing between the two bore holes. With all the
plugs out and the engine turning over it will try to compress both holes at
the same time. Just put your fingers over the plug holes to confirm. This is
very common on the 100 engine. Order a new gasket..

Subject: [Healeys] no compression 100
I was in here a few weeks ago on this ("blown head gasket") and got great
suggestions. Have tried most all of them.ignition, fuel delivery, timing,
etc.
On a whim I tested the compression. 132, 128, 24 and 22. so 3 and 4 have
suffered some With the cover off, the valve train appears to be ok. Also
checked torque (cold) all ok. I'm hoping (now) for the gasket to be actually
blown. Any ideas?
