Default Major Motor Problems

Well I posted last week about cam sensor , turns out there is major problems . had Mechanic look at it and it seems starbord motor injested water thru exhaust. I was told that there is a flaw with fountains design with the exhaust being too short. Now engine has 0 compression on cyl 4 an 50 % on cyl 8 anyone hear of this or experience this

dunno. I was told by Mechanic" I did some research and this was a flaw made my fountain." I find it odd only from not seeing anyone else say they had these issues.

I call BS on the mechanic's statement. Did you ask to see his "research?"
