Electrodes gone from spark plugs??

Well the bad news is the compression came out like this.
1 - 172
3 - 60 - had previous missing electrode, one lifter a little tight
5 - 70 - One lifter a little tight (test after loosening)
7 - 165
2 - 155
4 - 105 - Something is wrong here.
6 - 0 - Missing electrode this time. Pulled rockers and smacked valves with soft faced hammer. They sound like they are seating just fine. Still no compression with rockers off.
Ventilated piston I would presume.
8 - 150
I am tearing down now. boo hoo....
And this was the new motor.

Did you get that sinking feeling as you were doing test? I am so gun shy that I pull all the plugs after every time I go out. The last 2 times I had messed up plugs I did test & then started tearing down motor.

Dave F, Do you really think I need 6 to 8 psi? It does have pressure regulators but I haven't messed with them.
Here is the latest pic.
The winner is John B
This accounts for #6 cylinder
Detonation is more than likely the culprit.
Thank's to all that have responded.
Now it's off to pull the other head and check my jets!
It's alot easier to pull the motor with the heads off. Putting it back in might be another story.
