Volvo s40 2006 2.4i I was on the freeway the other day and the oil light came on and the car shut off immediately.I got it turned back to my house and I check the compression and all of the cylinders were about at 50 psi. Cylinder 3 was less than that. I changed the head gasket and it didn't do anything any advice on what I should do next? So I checked a PCV breather box and my diaphragm is punctured could that cause it not to start? I have a new one on the way

Either way the cylinders will not fire with less than 100 psi in compression. What is the compression now?
Pcv is not your problem.
I'd bet the cam timing changed and bent the valves -

next step is a leakdown to check the valves and then confirm the cam/VVT timing. When you changed the head gasket did you inspect/test the valves with the head off? Did you follow the correct procedure for resetting the VVT gear / cam timing or did you simply return it back to the original position?
