X2.

Loss of compression can also be caused by a burned exhaust valve or an improperly adjusted decompression device. I wouldn't be tearing into the bottom end anytime soon.
ok ok guys i said bad rings because that is the most common cause of a no compression, unless what he ment was NO compression what so ever. in that case it would be something else. but i took him saying no compression to mean very low compression, or the compression numbers did not match up
