1989 175 evinrude

This is probably wishful thinking but Motor ran with no oil for a couple minutes.warning horn is inop. motor surged a bit then died. It will idle no problem but under load it surges and dies. I did a compression check and I have 70-80 psi on all cylinders except number 6 and it reads zero… Could it be a blown head gasket or am I wishful thinking. Any help appreciated…

After “a couple minutes” and those compression readings, I’m betting the rings are shot and the cylinder walls are scored to $%^&.
