a compression test is done by removing spark plug and plugging an instrument in that tests compression of each cylinder, not the valves

do you mean the cylinders?????

possibly worn piston rings

take it to a garage that can perform a leak-down test to determine where the compression is escaping (intake, exhaust, crankcase, gasket, etc.)
