Do a leak down test. That will let you know if your problem is either an intake or exhaust valve, or worse. Did the engine have any overheat problems?

Set the cylinder you are testing to TDC on the compression stroke. Screw the tester in the spark plug hole. Add about 100 psi of air and listen. Tail pipe= leaking exhaust valve, crankcase= rings or piston, coolant tank bubbles= head gasket/ head/ block. That is the basics.
You can check YouTube, that's how my kids learn everything.
