Default 4th Gen Prelude Help

I just got my car back from the shop today and the mechanic told me this:

Compression Test showed Cylinder 1, 2, and 3 are showing 225psi (im pretty sure) and Cylinder 4 is showing 10psi. It smokes heavily when given acceleration.

Its an H22a. Was running a Drag 3 Turbo kit in it @6psi. Turbo kit is out and running all motor now. All oil lines and leakes have been plugged up. Where should I even start?

Neither, you cracked the ringlands on piston #4..

You are going to have to either resleeve or get a new block.. might as well build it with some decent rods and pistons if you decide to resleeve..

don't ride around with it like that, you will just damage more stuff..

Are you just using an FMU for management? if so, too timing was your problem here, go with a good setup next time (CROME/Uberdata/etc)
