Default Head gasket Went for a ride

I went for a ride yesterday, in my 29 Roadster we drove about 130 miles it ran great. and did not get hot. but the last 1/4 mile home. stopped at a stop sign, and it started running rough. and no power. i got home, shorted out the plug wires and , found that i had 2 dead holes, 3 and 4. i did a wet compression test 1 ans 2 at 60 lbs and 0 at 3 and 4. so the conclusion is a head gasket. is that common for them to blow like that? i hope to replace the gasket soon
