Also, a cracked piston could affect compression on the cylinder that the piston is cracked... also very unlikely that you cracked all 4 pistons a the same time!!!

I agree, that's what is so weird compression results...

My other bet would be on the mechanical timing. Camshafts are a common points on all cylinders. If you retard or advance it (like skipping teeth) this could affect compression on all 4 cylinders. Also, you could have bent valves from this problem, which you will need to check if you timing is not correct.
I hope this help!

As soon as the hose popped, engine sputtered flooded and I turned it off, so maybe 10 feet and a few seconds later.
I hope it is something like timing I don't here any metallic noises from the engine, and my compression numbers weren't helpful. I will be going through it next weekend in more depth.
I REALLY APPRECIATE everyone's help too. I am just trying to gather as much information from other threads and you guys before I dive in to deep.
