Wet test brought 1-5 up average 5% #6 still at 0. Blown head gasket or bent valve?

Could be either but first best guess is a valve. either way the head's gotta come off.

Update:
Pulled the head and the head gasket looked good. Shop checked it and the head is cracked. Previous owner had put a new radiator in it so I suspect that he over heated it.

That'd do it. At least it's the head and not the bottom end.
