I can list about a thousand things that can go wrong. The obvious thing on a pushrod motor would be that it finds it's way down to the camshaft and wipes a lobe or bearing out (catastrophic falure). If it's a OHC motor then this problem would/will happen relatively quickly. Other things it could get tangled up in is your valve springs, destroying your valve seals causing oil burning or even valve guid damage. I would get that out of there right away. The vavle cover takes less than 30 minutes to remove on 90% of the engines out there and the gasket is less than $5 for them too. $5 is way less than a $5,000 engine.

What will cause no cylinder compression?

A cracked or broken piston will cause a loss of compression, as will cracked or broken rings. The failure of a head gasket will also cause a loss of compression, as will broken, cracked or badly worn valves or valve seats. A crack in the cylinder itself (either the sleeve or the engine block), or a crack in the head itself will cause a loss of compression. A problem with the plug threads or the threads in the head (for engines that have plugs) can cause loss of compression, and injectors (for engines that have them) can leak around the threads, either because the injector threads or the threads in the head have been damaged.
