Cylinders 1, 2, and 3 have 170 lbs. Of compression, number 4 only 20. Is it repairable?

Good afternoon,
Sure it is but it all depends on why it is low.
It could be:
1. Burned valves. This would be a valve job on the cylinder head.
2. Piston rings. This involve an overhaul of the motor.
3. Burned hole in a piston. This would also mean a overhaul.
