Right, got a little ahead of myself and forgot rings existed lol. How do I know if the lose of compression is going out a warn valve or rings though? Wouldn't a leak down test just show compression loss?

Unfortunately I don't have the equipment to do a leak down test. I think I'll do as you suggested and just pull the head and take them to a shop to get machined. Would a cracked piston wall still blow 90? I'm assuming not so hopefully it's just a valve or head gasket issue. Thanks a bunch! I'll...
