Sir, you mentioned earlier that you don't have an oil consumption problem, so if I were
you I wouldn't go to all the effort to replace those valve stem seals. If your
thought process is that by changing those valve stem seals that your compression
in #6 will return, it won't.
@Schurkey has been giving you proven-good
troubleshooting guidance.
Big picture:
1) Engine is missing, normal tune up items don't correct, mechanical
failure is suspect.
2) Compression test is performed to figure out which of the 8 cylinder(s) are bad.
3) The next step in the troubleshooting process is to perform a Leakdown
Test in order to
further narrow the failure down to an intake valve, exhaust valve,
or the piston/rings within the cylinder that failed the compression test.
-0- psi means that the problem will not be subtle. Think burned exhaust valve,
bent intake valve, or holed piston.
And since the reading is -0-, you don't even need to get the test setup to
quantify exactly what percentage of leakage is happening. Instead, you need
to chuck up compressed air to the bad cylinder (at TDC on the compression
stroke) ...and then listen for lots of air escaping out of the exhaust pipe?
Or hissing out of the throttle body?
And if they are both quiet, then lots of air hissing from the oil fill opening. (By the way,
no excess oil consumption reported would tend to eliminate the piston/ring possibility.)
And the bent pushrod discovered would also lead me more towards one or more problems
with your valves.

I know that this is a rehash of what has already been shared w/you, but when
you mentioned that you were going after the valve stems on the bad cylinder,
I wanted to share the above & get you to do just a little more troubleshooting
first.
Let us know what you find. Thanks!
