My Two Cents
I experenced the same spewing experience, although doing a compression check
showed even compression in all cylinders (~190). But I was blowing smoke. I
thought that is was caused by bad valve seal. In the process of changing the
valve seals, holding up the valves with compressed air. I was able to
pinpoint a problem. I had reproduced the spewing in the recovery tank via
the compressed air in the cylinder. The problem was a warped head...
Hope yours is not the same.

I've had the radiator cleaned up (cleaned the tanks up, didn't need to be
re-cored), a new 180 degree thermostat, new upper and lower hoses, new
pressure cap (7 psi), and a new rad cap. Still spewing.
Does this mean its the head gasket? Do you test the head gasket by using a
compression checker? I don't own one, should I go ahead and buy one, or is
there another way to test the head gasket?>>
