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

You could have blown the engine. Does it crank?

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....
