so before i pulled the head off my 1.6 it has low compression in 2 of the cyl. i had figured that it was damaged from when i drove the car after turbocharging it with out a tune
now that i pulled the head off and ive inspected the pistons and head and dont see any signs of why there would be low compression. the head gasket is a MLS style and doesnt seem to be damaged or anything.
im at a loss. any ideas?

Re: low compression
does the valves leak??... pour some gas in the intake and exhaust ports and see if gas leaks through the valve seats

Re: low compression
im thinking its the rings. even if i cant see damage, they still could be. so ill give that a shot and see what happens
