Bad, bad, bad, news

well did a compression test on my mr2... and didnt even have to go past the first cylinder, Only 55 lbs of compression. I guess that explains the miss I was experiancing. Anyway im pulling the valve covers off when I get the chance but Im afraid its probably the piston ring...

So I'm looking for advice and maybe a pity discount on an engine someone has laying around. I need to decide if I should pay another 800 to 900 bucks for a 4agze or a 20 valve, or if I should just look for another stock 4age. I already know I'll probably have to spend an obnoxious amount of cash either way between the new clutch, flywheel, engine, fuel pump, starter, and god knows what else... Anyway unless the head has a valve stuck partly open im looking at a rebuild or a swap, or worse... a partout
