just run a feeler blade over the head to check its nice and true or the straight edge of a metal ruler, and just look for and warping, like he said you should be ok unless the gasses rushing between cylinders have damaged the head | |

I had a gasket go between no. 3&4 cyl on my corsa, there was no compression at all on those two. but the hole in the gasket between the cylinders was about an inch big! | |

I reckon it valves. Its unlikely to be the gasket as the readings would be higher | |

You didn't just over-crank it when doing cylinder 1 or something? | |

Whatever it is you have to take the head off anyway. That'll tell you whats wrong. Normally on mine it's 16 bent valves and pistons with holes in | |

could also be valves but i did read you were getting oil in there so maybe not. take head off and see you will have to at some point anyway | |
