Hi there,

do a wet & dry compression test. Dry test is just a normal comp test, and note the reading. Then squirt some engine oil into the cylinder, not a lot just enough to coat the top ring, do a comp test again, if the readings go up it will be faulty rings if there is no real improvement you have a valve issue.
