-bad piston rings
-hole in the piston (caused by preignition a condition that occurs mainly when low grade gas is used on higher compression engines ex. an Acura rsx has 11:1 compression from he factory so if cheap gas is used is ignites to soon and could cause ring or piston damage)

What causes 2 side by side cylinders to have extremely low compression?
Extremely low compression in two side-by-side cylinders can be caused by several factors, including worn piston rings, damaged cylinder walls, or faulty valves that fail to seal properly. Additionally, a blown head gasket can allow coolant or oil to enter the combustion chamber, leading to compression loss. Other potential issues include improper timing or a malfunctioning ignition system. Regular maintenance and diagnostics can help identify and resolve these issues.
