And get a can of Berrymans Chemtool..

Put the Chemtool in the oil and run it in the oil at idle only for 20 min. Let it sit overnight and run it an additional 20 min.
These two product have proven themselves to be very good at freeing sticking rings.
Remove the plugs.Divide the can of ProTec by the number of cylinders and put that amount in each cylinder.
Put the plugs back in a few threads to prevent evaporation or something falling down the plug hole.
Let the engine sit as long as possible overnight or all weekend, remove the plugs and crank it through with the ignition fuse pulled to blow out any remaining product.
Reinstall the plugs and fire it up, change the oil and filter. Take it for a high RPM run.
If that doesn't get it your probably dealing with worn out rings not stuck or sticking rings and you cant fix broke.
Edit: Stupid question but you did have the throttle fully open for the compression test right?
I agree, but the only thing that I would add to it (IMO), is not just to drive it at high RPM, but to try and put your foot through the floor board. Max RPM, let the transmission shift on it's own through 2nd and 3rd gear. Do it several times. If possible, find a STEEP and long hill and do this. The combination of lots of load, lots of heat and lots of RPM will blow all kinds junk out the tail pipe. In fact, the first time or two you do this, don't be surprised if you look in your rear view mirror and see a black or gray hazy cloud following you!
I agree i just didn't want to propose such a thing like "drive it like you stole it" which is the common cry of supporters of a once popular now $28 a bottle snake oil on this board. LOL
We have all seen results like this on a cold engine or where the guy forgot to open the throttle, i think its important to find this out before putting anything in it.
