Thanks for update. Yes, it seems the cylinder head has to be checked for straightness, cavities and cracks.

Btw, good idea to tell the vehicle story (ideally - together with the problem description)

Interesting that it could still generate 150psi cylinder pressure with blown head gasket.

Yes, you are right... and if the compression is OK the engine should run even with leaking antifreeze (at least we don't see a reason why no).
