It depends on why the compression is low. Assuming you checked compression with a gauge causes could include a stuck valve or valves, blown head gasket, cracked head or bad rings and seals. Repair requirements in order are a valve job, a new head gasket installation, a new or rebuilt head, a new or rebuilt engine.

How do you detect low compression of engine?
To detect low compression in an engine, you can perform a compression test using a compression gauge. Remove the spark plugs, insert the gauge into the cylinder, and crank the engine to measure the pressure; low readings indicate potential issues. Additionally, a leak-down test can help identify where compression is lost, whether through valves, piston rings, or gaskets. Observing symptoms like rough idling, poor acceleration, or excessive exhaust smoke may also suggest low compression.
