I’m willing to bet your ‘dangling spark plug wire’ was because the plug shot out; that would also *possibly* explain the tick.

No compression on cyl 5 can be because there are. I threads left for the compression tester to hold onto.

Get a second opinion; or get it home and look yourself.

I agree with Doc on this one. Unless a head gasket blew. Causing the compression loss. I get 2nd opinion.

i did get a second opinion, and thank god i did, because they just called to tell me they fixed it. Just blew out a spark plug and the first shop wasn’t competent enough to figure it out.

I was over here freaking out that i might have blown my engine. Not going back to that first shop ever again. (they had the nerve to charge me a $45 diagnostic fee)
