Check engine light went on. OBD Codes said 2 cyl with not enough spark. Replaced plugs, no help. Replaced
Coil. Check engine Light went out, performance still subpar. Tested compression - one cylinder with no compression now.

Replace engine? Or will a valve job solve the problem?
What is your guess as to least cost solution?

Thanks.

Dunno about the costs it varies with locality-I'll go for the Valve Job the engine is still young at heart, now if you have the $$$$$$$ go for the long block-
