    Default what does this mean

    i was driving my 91 civic 4 door with a b16 turbo 10 psi.. yesterday home
    for lunch and i noticed that i was smoking so i turn off the car pull off to the side of the road and got out to see if i was leakin something but i wasnt..."last time this happen my oil feed line got stuck to my headers which made it smoke alot so i was just takin precaution..." but when i tried to start it it sounded like i didnt have any compression... so i towed it home did a compression test and it was 60 psi after 5 turns of the ignition.. all i have is a b16a stock everthing on it ....turbo, fuel rail, pump, injectors, throttle body....external waste gate, hks knock off blow off valve...i think thats it...so what ya think might of happened... thanks for any suggestions..

    Blown headgasket? Check the oil to see if there is coolant in it. It will look milky if so.
