Do some searching. You are probably not doing the test right. You have to crank the car enough for that cylinder to come to TDC at least once which can take a few seconds or more when cranking. I generally hold for 10 seconds to get a good reading.

Head gaskets on the 4g and 5g just quite simply don't blow. Honda switched to a multi-layer-metal (MLM) gasket on the H22 which has virtually no chance of failing. A failure is usually due to improper installation or something more severe, like a damaged head, compromised cylinder, etc.
