a compression test is the best way to tell the condition of your engine.
a new build should be 120+ ish
anything getting down near 100 or less is time for a rebuild

only rings ...if compression is down but you caught it in time before piston
wear started < tested by measuring piston to cylinder clearence.
the cylinder will need a quick hone to restore the crosshatching for new rings to seat.

get that compression tested and report back.
it's best to not use a cheap/harbor freight tester, they've been known to lie

Have the cylinder measured for out of round and taper to see wether it is within specs.
