Sounds like you will need to have the compression checked.....

It does sould like a case of a missing apex seal.

well check your ignition first, i felt like a doofuss when i thought i had a blown seal but just had the plug wires on wrong. yes its possible to have a blown apex seal, but see if the problem isnt something else first. if nothing else you could always try the mmo treatment.
