Hope you didn't blow head gasket or warp heads. Take it to the shop.

Darn you gave up all ready? You said it had compression...was this determined with a compression gauge? If so how much?

190 psi is good, so I would perform a compression test again on your engine and monitor if you have more than 14 psi difference between cylinders then you've got major issues....
