Just a comment: low compression can be caused by many things, such as burned
valves, broken ring(s), cracked piston, cracked head, failed head gasket. If
the piston or rings are cracked the possibility of bore damage is high.
Given the statement that there's $7K of performance add-ons, it's pretty
certain there's other engine wear and tear.

In other words, the head has to come off and be reconned (assuming it's even
possible) unless it was done relatively recently, and the engine needs a
complete inspection and rebuild as necessary. You can't just fix one
cylinder, unless you like wasting money.
