Does low compression and engine won't start mean a blown head gasket on a car that overheated?
If it was a head gasket then the compresion would be low in the affected cylinders low compresion as a result of wear wil make the car hard to start and overheating can also lead to electrical problems, Besides blowing a head gasket, overheating can also cause a cylinder head ro crack. Low compression and engine not starting or hard to start are symptoms. As mentioned above, do not discard the possibility of electrical problems due to overheating. However, the prime suspects are blown head gasket and/or cracked cylinder head.

Signs of a blown head gasket on a outboard boat motor?
Usually a blown head gasket will allow cooling water to enter the affected cylinder. This can be detected by observing the spark plugs for water on the electrode, or a clean washed appearance. A gasket blown between cylinders, may show no sign of water, but depending on size of the engine, may be hard, or impossible to start. The quickest, and most sure way to find out, is a compression reading of all cylinders.
Why does a lot of white smoke emit at idle after a hard revving the engine?
You may have a blown head gasket. The white smoke may actually be steam from coolant leaking into the combustion chambers. If your car is using a lot of water, this would back up the blown head gasket theory. White smoke is coolant and black smoke is oil. I agree that this is likely a problem with your head gasket.

Water runing into intake valve would be noticeable when you pull the intake manifold. You might hear knock when motor is hot, that would indicate steam knock from blown head gasket. Piston in question would be steam clean from antifreeze hard blast on ignition................. ........ do a compression test, a week cylinder could indicate not only a blown head gasket but also tell you what cylinder.

What causes white smoke to come from a tailpipe in a crown vic?
This may not be the answer you're willing to hear, but the problem could be from a blown head gasket. I had the same problem on my 85 Crown Vic after hitting on it a little bit too hard after it sat for about three years. A blown head gasket would be my best guess in this situation. In that case, the entire engine will have to be disassembled and rebuilt from the cylinder heads UP.
Why would my 95 Isuzu rodeo start blowing white smoke out of the tailpipe?
The white smoke indicates the burning of oil. A number of issues could be causing this, especially on an older engine. It's hard to tell the exact source without seeing the engine but worn piston rings are an option or even a leaky gasket somewhere (if there is a good amount of moisture/water coming out as well, then it is more than likely a blown head gasket).
