Default No Compression on number 3 cylinder

After having spent all weekend whipping the engine out of my rst and then rebuliding and putting the new block in it ran really rough. so we ran a comp test on it and all cylinders were around 9 bar except number 3 wich was not even one.

We think this could be one of two things.

1. Head gasket, which was brand new at rebuild stage and was seated properly.

2. Piston rings, this is the most likely problem i think as there is only a low comp on one bore.

Anyone got any ideas or second opinions?

Cheers
