If you have low compression due to head gasket - there is no fixing by applying gasket maker. You'll have to fix it right. Buy gasket kit and replace head gasket at very minimum.
BTW - check oil level and state. If you have way too much oil and especially gas in oil - you will have good chance of blowing head gasket or cylinder gasket - due to high pressure in the crank case. If your oil smells like gas - it means petcock, carb needle valve problem (both) - needing urgent fix. Remember - gas is no lubricant - 3 quarts of gas in oil is not good for the engine...
