The motor is less than 20k old from a complete rebuild.
My only thing about bad rings is wouldn't it smoke?
I mean it doesn't smoke at all, never.
Would that lead you to believe it was a bad seal?
If it is a bad seal, I should be able to get at it from the top with out pulling the head right? I just need to push some air into the cylinder so I don't drop the valve right?

Also, what are the chances that I spun the valve?

Thanks
