Default problem with dodge ram 2002

My name is James. My question is to all who might know whats wrong with my truck. I was driving down the interstate around 70 or 75 mph when my top radiator hose split from clamp to clamp. It started lossing power and started slowing down. Then it started knocking in the motor, i checked all my gages oil pressure, temp, and looked for check engine light. Everything was lookin good so i pulled over on side of the interstate. Before i come to a stop my truck cut off. Got the truck towed home from a friend(another dodge truck same year) couldnt let a chevy or ford pull me would never hear the end of it. So i started to pull the top end apart and found water in my air box and filter. I pulled the spark plugs and took a compression check on the motor. NUmber 2,4,6, and 8 cylinders read 80 to 85 and 1,5,and 7 read 0 and 3 read 30. What i am wondering is if it is a timing problem or head gasket( bad warped heads) or maybe somethingelse. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
