I did a compression check and it turns out the number 2 cylinder has low compression (30psi to be exact, the others are at 120psi). I put a small amount of oil in the cylinder to check the rings and did a second compression check. The compression only went up to 50psi. My thought is a valve problem or a worn lobe on the cam. Does this sound about right?
