So they did another compression test and verified that oil in the cylinders will make it seal? Because if not just guessing and buying pistons and installing them would not be wise if it's my wallet since it could be other things too...

do another compression test-remove all spark plugs-hook up a battery charger-and hold the gas WOT and crank it till u hear it turn 4-5 times then look at your gauge....if u ask why to do all this ...(just think about it)
