Got this thing to drive in winter and whatnot but it has a misfire. I did a compression test and the #2 cylinder is low. What exactly does this mean? Im gonna pull the valve cover tomorrow. what should I look for? Thanks in advance.

put a little oil in it and see if it comes up. If it does you have worn rings. If it doesn't change something is up with a valve.
