A couple of Tablespoons of heavy oil in the lower spark plug holes before trying to start it. Gets old doing it everytime you have to start...Easier w/ no P/S and A/C, but not easy enough if stalled at a light

That is not the kind of low compression you want. Spend money and don't risk loosing an almost dead engine.
