  As an inquiring novice, how would a leak down test determine whether it's valves or rings. Seems like you lose pressure in either case.

   Steve, are you planning on driving the Healey to Deadwood.  If so I would not recommend to do that with a low compression. If it is a burnt valve then you will greatly increase the chances of cracking the head. If it is rings then you will use a lot of oil.   I would recommend a leak test right away. Then you can determine if the low compression is a valve problem or a ring problem.     David Nock
