Your engine should be fine. Bill What would the explanation be for low compression? Please, I do agree with you. I am confused as to why it is low. As mentioned by some others, and maybe to clarify in more detail, when the rings are not fully seated, they will cause less compression. Once fully seated recheck the compression and it should read normal. Bill '60-'72 Chev/GMC Fan GMC 9500 Fan Detroit Diesel Fan
