I have my naggin doubt that I'd lose all but 10-30 PSI of pressure from a blown gasket, but the engine symptoms don't appear to suggest much more.

There's coolant in my oil, the #1 cylinder walls appear unscratched and intact, turning the crank moved the cylinders up smoothy and pushes out any fluid on top. My exhaust smoke was white once the car reached normal operating temperature - no smoke until it got warm/hot.

From what little I know, if I broke a ring or scratched up the cylinder wall, I should have been burning oil and had blue or black smoke. Plus there should have been some perceptible damage to the cylinder.

If you have any further thoughts, please elaborate. I'm heading home in half an hour to put the motor back in.
