Hey I have a question about my 88 supra. Lets start out I bought it in november and drove it perfect for 3 months then I started leaking anti freeze and getting over heated, along with tons of white exhaust. So we replaced the radiator figuring that was the problem. After that still had overheating problems and finally I blew the head gasket. After replacing the head gasket and cleaning and lubricating all the valves we put her back together.now my problem is I have no compression in cylinder 5. what do I do?!

Did you send the head to the machine shop for a check. Both milling and pressure?

ya when you have a leaking head gasket and you start to over heat, its either the head gasket (which you've taken care of) or the heads warped and it'll have to get milled and tested. after you get it back get a new head gasket and just follow what you did before pretty much. after its back together refill the coolant and you should be rolling again! good luck!

oh wait i didnt fully read your whole post, if you still have no compression in cylinder 5 after that.....then you have a big job ahead of you cuz that means the rings are toast and your getting blow by in that cylinder really bad. which means total engine overhaul. keep us posted!
