stuck valves or rings?

Do a compression test dry at operating temps then add oil to the cylinder (like 5CCs or so) and redo the test. If the numbers go up significantly, your rings are the issue. If you think you have damage to a piston etc and you don't mind waiting till like maybe Saturday, I have a new borescope I have been wanting to try out. The light source should be here by then.
