hey guys basically, the head gasket is blown at the 5th cylinder .. compression is all good across the other 5, just 6th one is a little bit low .. still pulls n drives very hard .. water temps dont go up,

how ever yesterday i was driving it home the oil temps were getting close to 150 degrees, so i was going to pull over, before i pulled over the car stalls on me and now it never starts again. Even though the car has a blown head gasket i don't see a reason for it not to start ?

i change the spark plugs, put jumper leads on it as starting it without another battery support causes the battery to die. When i turn the car to accessories i can hear the fuel pump prime, and i just start it, it clicks and clicks and clicks and clicks but nothing happens. Any suggestions ?

That is VERY high oil temps 0_0

So it won't crank over at all? You just get the start motor solenoid click? If so then you have to start from there and see if the starter motor is seized and if you can confirm the starter motor is good then you might want to get a compression and leak down test. Sounds like some bad stuff going on inside that RB26.

If it does crank but won't start then it's more likely that the excessive engine heat has caused a sensor to fail.

If it's clicking a lot then it sounds like it's trying to engage the starter but doesn't have enough voltage or the starter is damaged. You mention the battery can't start the car so the issue could be electrical and starter related. Check all your fuses then try and get a proven starter. Also need more info on whether the car cranks at all or just click click clicks.
