Default Piston Ring Problems

Ok, so I have this problem we pinpointed today after hours of searching for what seemed to the the TCT, after which we pulled out sandblasted it, cleaned stuck it back it and still we got the same sound a small rattling inside the head... Took the spark plugs out ran a compression check and the 3rd spark plug was clogged up with muk and burnt bad... went it and stuck the comp tester in there and got a 55 psi dry and wet it came out to be 75 which brought us to the conclusion it was a piston ring... So has anyone had this problem in the past? If so what would you guys recommend for me to do any helpful links would be nice to shops or threads. Also if you wanna be an angel go ahead and PM me. Thank you arigatooo.
