[s-cars] Engine question..(S6 2.2)

I would suspect the valve seats before piston rings.  Are you familier
with the trick of adding a little oil inside the suspect cylinder before
the compression test?
If you get a higher compression reading after adding a little oil then
it is likely a ring problem.  If there is no difference then mabe valve
seat.
 The thin coating of oil will help a poorly sealing pistion ring and
create a higher compression reading.
Good Luck
