Hi there,

If you do a wet compression test, that is add some oil (not a lot just a few squirts from an oil can) to the cylinder then do a comp test this will seal up the rings temporally so if the readings are still very low, the valve will be the problem, if the comp rises considerably it will be rings, but be aware that doing the head up on an older engine may induce oil burning after a while as the rings may be some what worn as well.
