oh ho, it has to be a valve (my guess) or piston :(
blown gasket or crack will have some compression.
the head has to come off.
also, make sure its stone COLD before removing the head
or it will warp.
I would do a valve job no matter what as its off anyway.
if its a piston, might as well do all the rings while
its all apart.
