A broken valve spring or valve problem can cause low compression, but generally low compression caused by a valve problem does not improve by adding oil to the cylinder. Low compression problems that improve with adding oil are usually a problem with a piston rings, piston, or ring land. I would still check the valve springs as that only involves pulling the valve cover and inspecting them especially since the problem seemed to occur suddenly. Could possibly be a rocker arm or push rod problem too.

thanks 2xLS1 for being help full. your only one that has said any thing to help. please keep an eye on here.
i got a brand new set of springs here. so i guess next step is going to be to pull old ones off number one and put new ones in to see what happens and recheck compresion. will post up them results
whould a broken spring make the valvetrain noiseer ? cause it sounds same as before? just wonfering if a broken spring chould still be quit?

Looks like another bad set of valves Eddie
If Patriot doesn't fix them up shoot me a IM & I'll get them here & put PRC parts in it.
