OK, I'll ask the dumb question.....

Hey Bill...that comp ring fell out of the groove in 3 pieces upon piston removal. CSI and forensics people are presently searching Belair's home/garage for the missing 3" piece of that ring we can't find here

That would certainly explain a lack of compression!!! Good detective work, Steve Wow, Bruce, that thing should pull real strong running on 8 cylinders instead of 7
