1980 750 cb-c

Hello Guys,
      I have inherited a 1980 cb 750-c, the issue is low compression , the first test "dry" cylinder#1was 0, #2 ,40  #3, 45, #4, 45,,, the Wet test (adding a teaspoon of oil) was #1, 77 #2, 120  #3, 60 #4 , 170,, so Im thinking a stuck valve on the number one cylinder. so, I removed the carbs and exhaust and and sprayed all the ports ,intake and exhaust with some seafome and wd40, trying to get to the stems, best I could. let it sit a day and repeated, let it sit another day and retested, dry was #1, 0  #2 ,50 #3, 60 #4,140,,,wet was #1 ,75 #2, 175 #3, 125 #4 190 , so, this was donated to our ministry and I want to get it road worthy, for the least amount of money then raffle it off for the food bank , being that the numbers were all over the place, what would y'all do, thank you in advance for your thoughts and resources

Since the wet test brought the compression up, that would lead to bad rings. You will at least need to do a rebuild on the top end.

thanks tools, I was leaning towards valve issues, so I will start pricing a top end gasket set and rings, Im sure I will have further  questions along the way, thanks again
