Bah, I wouldnt stress at all man, I've had way worse and have seen way worse. It may smoke a tad at the high rpms down the road. But I'd just slap in the new rings and call it good.

I got the engine pretty cheap. i was told; "it just has bad compresion in one of the cylenders." like a box of fucked up chocolates.
