Did i blow up my mazda b2200

hey guys, I have a 1988 mazda b2200 and I was driving it home tonight. I pulled into my friends driveway and went to back up and it died. Then it would only turn over very slow and would not start. I then let it sit for a while and then went and tried again. Then it turned over but it kind of seemed like it had no compression. I popped my hood and realize my coolant line from my carb to my heater was cracked and all my coolant had leaked out. The motor was sizzling hot and completely out of coolant. I am not sure if it a blown head gasket or blown motor, any ideas? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks

At the very least a head job. Kinda hard to tell, but if coolant got into the cylinders during your trip you could have very easily bent valves.

A lot of people use Clearwater as a head vendor. I think this is the right place....
